They gestured to a specific area. "This used to be a forest so the terrain has changed a little, but yes. We're in this general area."

She studied it for a bit longer. Knowing where the spirits were was helpful. "Where'd you get this map?"

"The castle," they replied. "It's an old map, I'm afraid, but we've found it useful. Somebody marked the spirits' locations on here."

"Wonder who." She mused. She went back to filing Rollan's chains and pulled out a small hacksaw. It wasn't well suited for cutting cuffs and chains but it'd have to do.

"I love it! I'll give you my right hand for it."
"You'll do no such thing!" Jackson retorted. "Your hand is worth infinitely more than a saw, Bug."

"It's just at such a terrible angle." She tried to adjust the blade without cutting him. It was going to hurt at some point. There were weeping wounds under those cuffs and she was undoubtedly irritating them.

"Oh, I don't punch people," he assured her, staying as still as possible. "I'm more pacifist than this lot."
