Nicolas could feel himself being freed up with one hand before the girl finished securing his other hand back in place.
He was soon able to figure out that some kind of handcuffs were being used to keep him in place which chaffed against his wrists a little when he was trying to struggle a little earlier.
He regained a little more freedom which allowed him to feel a little more secure.
That was when he heard her voice from his side again as the girl was retreating. "You can have this much freedom so that you can cooperate. We need a little something from you as a means of initiation. Just a little buy-in and a little about yourself. Nod your head if you understand."
The girl had taken out a pen and notepad which was dropped by his side near his free hand before she stepped back. "Use the pen and notepad to talk. If you reach for your mouth then.. hehe."
