Haley fumbled with the key at her door, wondering why she had even locked it earlier. She sighed with relief when she finally managed to get the key in and unlocked it. "I hope you're as strong as you look," she said as she made her way over to the window across the room. There were several long nails hammered into the window frame to prevent the window from being opened, put there after the one time she stepped out of line. "If you can get these out, the sunset is breathtaking out there, not to mention it's free from prying eyes and ears." With a smile, she looked to him expectantly.

I even fixed her a plate." She said as she turned to walk backwards. She then retorted, " I wonder why she's hiding in her room?....Oh, yeah! That's right! It was because of the last time she saw you? Chump!"
