The dungeon

Third pov

A few hours later, Jax heard a familiar voice, "do I need to be in the Dungeon?" the familiar voice said, the familiar voice got closer and closer to Jax's cell "you stole some valuable items from the black market" a Guard said, then Jax could see who the familiar voice was Honey, Jax's cell opened up and the guards threw Honey in the cell "come on guys don't do this" Honey said with a sarcastic tone "Honey?" Jax said looking at the short male, "oh hey Jax" honey said turning around toward Jax "what are you doing here?" Jax asked with an impressed tone "it's kinda a long story" Honey said with an embarrassed tone while rubbing the back of his neck "we have time" Jax said sitting down on the bed "Okay" Honey said.

After Honey finished the story, "you made friends with a guard?" Jax asked honey with a confused tone "yeah he was nice" Honey said, Jax was wondering why he felt angry and frustrated at Honey's new friend, Jax didn't know what this feeling was but he hated it. Jax looked at Honey "And you did this just to get me out of the Dungeon?" Jax asked with an embarrassed tone Jax could feel his face heat up "yep" Honey said with a flustered tone in his voice "thanks shortie" Jax said while he placed his hand on his head and messes up Honeys hair "I'm not short" Honey said looking up at Jax "it's a joke calm down" Jax said with a calm and soothing voice, Honey's face had a pink tint on his cheeks "f...fine" Honey said stuttering while sitting down on the bed as well "so I told you about my troubles how about you?" Jax asked looking at Honey "well... I'm kinda the troubled one in the family, always getting into mischief and mayhem wherever I go" Honey said with an uncomfortable tone "look if you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to" Jax said with a reassuring smile "Oh thank you" Honey said looking at Jax who was fiddling with his thumbs "how about family, any siblings, or pets?" Jax asked trying to change the subject "I have a younger sister named Anna and my mother's name is Daisy" Honey said while scooting his back against the wall "I doubt that, you seem like a good person" Jax said while looking at the other cells "yeah, anyways what about you? Any siblings?" Honey asked while thinking about how we are going to get out of here, "I have an older brother named Sam and a little sister named Kim" Jax said with a heartwarming smile "do you ever miss it?" Honey said which caught Jax off guard "w-what?" Jax said surprised "do you ever miss your old life. Like when you didn't have to worry about your debt?" Honey asked while looking at Jax "yeah, I wish I could go back in time and make it right somehow" Jax said with a sad expression "hey Honey" Jax said "yeah?" Honey questioned "Never mind it was a stupid question," Jax said "oh okay," honey said.

The next day, "Wake up you Rats" said guard one "It's time for breakfast" guard two said, Guard one and two left the prisoners alone "ugh...I don't want to get up" Honey said trying to open his eye "we have to," Jax said looking at the short male trying to open his eyes "having trouble shortie?" Jax said jokingly "I told you to stop calling me that," Honey said as he rubs his eyes "you never said that you said 'I'm not short' you didn't say to stop calling you shortie," Jax said with a cocky tone "shut up," Honey said in an aggressive tone "Woah you've gotta feisty one Huh," one of the prisoners said "oh no, no, no we're not," Jax said looking at the prisoner "oh then he hasn't been claimed," the prisoner said "you can't claim a person," Jax said with an annoyed tone to his voice "I'm pretty sure you can," the prisoner said with a confused expression "no I'm pretty sure that's illegal," Jax said with a concerned expression. While Jax and the prisoner were arguing, Honey started to get up, walked to the sink in the cell, and splashed water on his face. Honey walked toward the two guys arguing "Both of you stop arguing" Honey said with a tired voice "what if we don't" the prisoner said looking down at the short elf "..." Honey stood there looking at the prisoner "what are you going to do about it" The prisoner said, Honey just stood in front of the prisoner "move" Honey said looking at the prisoner with a deadly glare "y-yes s-sir" the prisoner said with a stutter while moving out of the elf's way and Jax followed shortly behind, "Is everything okay?" Jax asked Honey while walking to the train railings "yea everything is good" Honey said while grabbing a piece of Axle (the metal part of a train track) and carrying it to the track "are you sure?" Jax asked again but this time with a concerned tone in his voice, Honey stops and turns around to look at Jax "I'll tell you when we get back to the cell." Honey said looking at Jax's dark green eyes.

After working on the train tracks, Jax and Honey were talking about how many pets they had in their lifetime, "wait you had a goblin as a pet?" Jax said with a surprised tone in his voice "yeah, It was a girl, her name was pixie" Honey said with a small smile "hey, Honey" Jax said with a smile on his face "yeah?" Honey questioned Honey and turned around to look at Jax "I wanted to ask you something" Jax said looking at Honey "what is it?" Honey questioned, "what's been bothering you lately?" Jax asked "well I've been thinking about how we are gonna get out of here, and I've been worried about Eli When I was taken away he told the guard he knew, and what if he's in some kind of trouble," Honey said as he started to say his thoughts out loud while Jax looked at Honey with a surprised expression.

A few minutes later, after Honey was done with his conspiracy theories about Eli and what trouble he might be in because of him, "was I thinking out loud?" Honey asked with an embarrassed tone "yeah" Jax said looking at Honey "sorry, I do that when I'm worried about something" Honey said with a flustered tone, Honey's face turned a light shade of pink "look, it's okay, I'm sure he's fine" Jax said pulling Honey into a hug "thanks I needed that" Honey said with a small smile while enjoying the hug "no problem Honey" Jax said looking down at Honey.
