It smelled good, even from over here, but Rey's fight or flight response had been so pronounced that she only noticed once Ren headed that way. She lifted her head, looking after him, and — How long had it been since she'd eaten? Long enough that her stomach was making sounds. Didn't matter. They weren't going to feed her.
She tested the chain that bound her to the log, wondering at what point figuring it out got misconstrued (or properly construed) as an attempt to flee. She got to her feet and yanked and dragged and wheedled with the log for a while.
It budged marginally. She got it a few inches before she concluded that it would just as soon pull her shoulders out of the socket as actually get her closer to the tree line.
Great.
She slumped back down onto it, then propped herself against it, trying to find a comfortable position and ignore the strain put on her bladder by a day of dragging behind that prick's horse. She ought to sleep, really. Sleep now while Ren was out and keeping an eye on his men so when the Commander was asleep, she could keep an eye out. ]
