[This sort of thing wasn't exactly new, all sorts of species being forced into slavery. Oswin's seen it loads of times when they were out, and every time, they've been able to put a stop to it.

She would've thought it'd be the same here, some distant planet where it was humans, her own species, being kept locked up and stored away in farms. It was really only one little faction on the whole planet, renegades that weren't technically breaking any laws but weren't exactly doing the right thing either. Nothing too different from the norm, but it still made Oswin faintly sick, to see anyone treated like this.

All four of them, Oswin, Jenny, Nina and the Doctor, had been poking around where they didn't belong, as per usual, trying to find out more information about this place, something that'd help them maybe. Unfortunately, that'd been cut short, and before Oswin could grab the Doctor's hand and let him pull her under a closing door, she'd been grabbed, captured and taken away to one of their farms.

That was three days ago.

And three days was a long enough time for them to figure out that Oswin Oswald was not going down without a fight. No matter what they'd done, no matter how hard they'd tried to break her, nothing had worked. She still fought and bit and did everything she could to evade whatever it was they wanted to do with her, be it making her a pet or...something worse. She'd heard more than enough whispers of a breeding program that was said to calm even the strongest spirits.

For now, though, they've got her out in one of the pastures. There's a thin layer of snow on the ground, and Oswin shivers faintly in the plain gray dress they've given her for clothes. At least she's got something though, she's seen humans with little to nothing. For the breeding program, she figures. At the moment, she's huddled up under a tree, trying to spot some fault in the high, chain-link electrified fence, anything she can use to escape.

Because she will escape. There's no doubt about that, it's just a matter of waiting. Which is something Oswin isn't good at, unfortunately.]

[She smiles faintly, leaning into the touch and letting their foreheads press lightly together.] I've been worried, but...I'm alright.

[Nina kisses her forehead lightly and strokes her cheek.] ...You go get dressed and in bed. I'll fetch you something to eat.

[She smiles tightly and nods.] Alright, I'll...I won't be long.

[Nina's blushing as she walks away, blossoms opening in her hair. She won't be gone long, as promised, just long enough to make up some tea and sandwiches and whatever else she thinks might suit Oswin's fancy.]

You're welcome. [Nina huffs and sits down on the edge of the bed, settling a tray into Oswin's lap.]

Yeah, yeah. [Still, Nina looks rather pleased with herself. She watches Oswin quietly.]

...Jenny make it back alright?

Probably. [Nina nods thoughtfully, watching as Oswin eats before glancing down at her lap.]

[Nina drapes an arm around her shoulders almost without thinking, nuzzling lightly into Oswin's neck.]

Good. [She's quiet for a moment.] I...I was terrified I'd never see you again.
