"Enlightenment":
Allura followed quietly beside the man that she had found out rather quickly was Fuwa. Mitsunari had sent him to escort her to his office because he wanted to talk to her, but she had no interest in speaking with him or anyone else, since her arrival she hadn't said much of anything and kept to herself, seeing it was an easier way to cope with being in her situation.
She hadn't gotten any sleep since coming either, except for the few minutes she would doze off every now and again. Between hearing the screams caused by the men when they would come to terrorize some of the girls and the crying at night, it was impossible to get much rest anyways. She was relieved that for the most part Mitsunari had kept his promise that she would be left alone, even if it was at the expense of other girls. She did notice that their eyes would wander to her, but she would quickly avert her own gaze to make it seem as if she hadn't noticed, not wanting to draw any attention to herself.

Fuwa watched the noble out of the corner of his eye, memorizing her figure and admiring the way her hair lit up like a sunset against the sunshine. She was a beautiful specimen and mannered, too. If she maintained this attitude until it came time to sell her, it would be another reason to increase her price and an opportunity for her to be placed in happier places.
But then again, she was a soul reaper. And she was friends with a Masanobu. This could be a means to an end.
He chuckled. Either way, it wouldn’t be Sayoko who released her. They had made sure of that.
Speaking of their Tiger, he wondered if the charming redhead had any useful details they could use against her after they tired of starving her and keeping her in the dark.
“Tell me, Miss Nakane, are you always this quiet?”

Allura bit the inside of her cheek for a moment, hesitating to answer. She took in a quiet breath and kept her eyes straight ahead.
She cleared her throat before she spoke, "Yes I am.."
The softness of her voice surprised her for a moment, but she quickly recovered from it. It was to be expected since she hadn't spoken since her last chat with Mitsunari.

Fuwa laughed. "You're an interesting girl, the complete opposite of our Tiger." He tilted his head in her direction. "You know, I'm curious. And we have a couple minutes before we reach Mitsunari's office. If you'll answer my questions, I'll answer yours. Sounds like a fair game doesn't it, dear?"

It was nearly a minute before Allura finally responded to him.
"I don't have any questions for you."
"Not even about your friend who attempted to keep you from getting captured?" He looked to her for a moment and then shrugged. "I apologize. There's no way that would happen. She's a beast, after all. Always was. A beautiful, wild animal."
Allura didn't react but she felt irritated at his words, "I don't have questions because I can make a good guess about the answers."

Fuwa's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to walk towards Mitsunari's office. She was cleverer than she looked -- as he expected. But she had details that he could use in breaking the other girl. Permanently. It was important for their reputation. He would have to try another approach.
"I wonder how long it will take for Miss Masanobu to realize her roommate has been kidnapped."

Allura caught herself by biting her tongue before she corrected him. She didn't know what information they had and trying to correct them could easily mean trouble. Even if it seemed like useless information, it was information that could be used. Instead she shrugged.
"She probably noticed already. It's been a few days after all."

Fuwa kept his expression schooled. "It's too bad she's locked away in the Gotei's healing division. You probably would have wished to say farewell to each other." He turned around as he opened a door the building where Mitsunari's office lay. "But I will give you a small ray of happiness for being such a lady while coming here."
He paused.
And then smirked, eyes glittering. "Once Tiger is broken, you may see her again. We sometimes get together with our best clients. And she's one of the main attractions." He bowed.

Allura's hands clenched into fists for a second but she quickly released it, doing her best to keep her self calm and collected through this exchange. She knew how to control her emotions and this was the best, yet worst, place to test that.
"I guess we'll just have to see what happens." She didn't intend to, but Allura's voice gave away the irritation she felt, it came out as harsh and clipped.
She didn't let the slip up phase her too much though as she walked into building and waited for Fuwa to lead the way.
