[He'd been there for hours, back torn open from the flogging received and body a mass of agony. Joe was aware that he wasn't the worst dealt that day, but it didn't mean his pain wasn't still on the extreme. He knew he should probably sleep, that the coming days would be busy, but for the moment, the man was content to stare blankly at the ground before him.
Guilt, was what he felt the most. For Sollux, and for Nel. The woman he wanted to scream at for being so foolish, for throwing her life away when he knew there was nothing she could do. Joe had witnessed and been part of enough trials to know that there was no passing the Headsman.]

I bet nobody really gets along with her.

The bulk of the staff you can trust, lad. That woman is the one to watch.
[Joe pauses.]
When y'get outta here, be sure to drink a lot of water and get some proper rest, aye?

*He grunts a bit. Sollux isn't sure about trusting the staff...but he's not sure about trusting most people anyway.*
Yeah, alright. You want me to bring you anything?
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
Nah, I'll be alright. Thanks fer the offer though.
no subject
*Sollux raises an eyebrow.*
Bullshit. There's no way you'll be alright after more than a few hours of this crap.

[Save for a single visit in the night by a friend to lift his spirits, but other than that, nothing. Sure it had almost killed him, but he'd done it. Be damned if Joe will let Isabel see him fall.]

A couple. It's been a fockin' long time since I've been up 'ere though. Last time was... worse.

Hate to say it lad, but I can't really recall the details all that well. I know it was to do with pigeons, an' passin' notes... More than that I can't say fer sure.
[It's been a long time since Joe's really thought about it.]
Fifteen lashes and two days in the stocks. Damn near killed me.

[He glances across to Sollux, and then to Alex. This isn't really the securest place to be talking.]
What's say you come see me in the kitchen some time and we'll see if I remember anything, aye?
no subject
*He didn't want to get too far into this conversation out here, anyway.*
