"You don't hydrate rations on the downbelow?"
Yasmin watched as the stranger that had bought her picked up the ration and tapped the wall. Suddenly there was a spout where there hadn't been before and he filled the packet with water. She didn't what to expect from the re-hydrated food but it had to taste better then it had as the cardboard she'd eaten. Turning her gaze to him when he was done she couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes.
"I've never seen those packets until I came here. Even in the pens we had actual food not ration packets and I didn't even know the tap was there since I've never been offworld before either. As it is I might not have hydrated them even if I had known since I was shackled to the bed with way of reaching a bathroom if I'd needed one or even know where one was if I could have reached it."
It was clear she was unhappy as she spoke and that she had to fight to keep her voice even and calm when what she truly wanted to was reach out and smack the idiot in front of her. From what she'd seen so far she wouldn't have trusted him with a dog much less allowed him to purchase a human being. All she could do was hope the other men on the ship (after all hadn't he said something about her earning him money?) would have a few more brain cells in their heads.
"Stand up, turn to face away from me, and put your hands behind your back. Doc wants you to come to him. Give me any trouble along the way and I'll make sure you need more of his services."
This time she didn't roll her eyes. Just cast a glance at the reconstituted ration packet that she now wouldn't get to eat and sighed as she slipped from the bed. Without a word she turned her back to him and put her hands behind her, shivering when the cold metal of the manacles closed on her wrists. Apparently he intended to march her naked through the ship. All she could do was hope that it wasn't too cold and that nothing sharp had fallen on any of the flooring or she'd need more of the doctors services anyway.
