Mireille, escorted by Amanda and another Miasma member, is presented before Marla.
Having had some time to think of what to say, Mireille has decided to try the 'unrequited love' angle to join Miasma.
"My lady, I desire only to serve Arastine, my mistress, and to grow closer to her. She is the one being in this world that I care for, and for her I would gladly give my life. For her, and, by extent, for you, lady Marla."
Marla doesn't particularly care what Miasma soldiers do with their slaves, so she simply waves her hand dismissively.
"Fine. Don't catch my notice again, Elf, or you'll find yourself wishing you hadn't."
Bowing, Mireille thanks Marla profusely before she's walked away by Amanda and her assistant.
Mireille is now a combat character, and will use a War Scythe she found laying around camp.
August seems to be on edge. He's glancing at shadow, and occasionally muttering to himself. Nobody's seen the elf slave he took around camp recently, which is causing some of the other elven slaves to avoid him and leave the room when he enters it. At times, he can't be found either, and he's very secretive about where he's going. It's apparent he doesn't trust some of Miasma to not interfere with what he's doing to the slave.
Millie, meanwhile, is miserable. She's been taken away from everyone and everything she's ever known after seeing her father and one of her two brothers cut down by Toxin's forces trying to protect her. She hugs her axe, the last reminder of her past life, as tight as she can.
I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to die... This all must be a bad dream, a nightmare. F-father, Nicklas, they're... not really... no, they can't be. I... I want to go home, I...
And her thoughts continue like that, with varying degrees of denial, for most of her conscious time at camp.
Millie's crying at night has gotten on Cernya's nerves for the last time. She's been going around camp and asking if anyone wants to "Help her teach the worthless crybaby a lesson", and when the Miasma troops return from their missions she asks them as well.
After Red's death, Arastine goes around camp, talking to Miasma Battalion troops, learning names and asking if there's anything she can do for them, Mireille at her side.
If there's something I can do to make these girls' lives better, I have a duty to do so. They could be killed at any time, after all.
...I'll just have to take care of my own needs later. I've had a lot more time than all of these girls, and if my experience can help them I'll give them all I've got.
Eisenhilde seems to be making religious markings around the camp, dedicating nearby deaths to the glory of Hel. She's neglected to ask the clergy of Nergal if this is alright, though, so there's probably going to be a bit of a conflict about that.
Hathus is sitting in camp alone, making more arrows for his longbow.
