For what time she had, Billie managed to loosen the one cuff slightly. A strong enough tug might free her hand. But Martin was back. Quickly and quietly, Billie hid her makeshift tool in the space between her wrist and her cuff.
She debating using it on him if he got close enough. If at least one of her hands was free, she could properly tether him like they did the Lord Protector when they killed the Empress those six months ago. Her tethering abilities weren't as strong in her as they were others (another one of the Outsider's games of chance) but oh, Billie would love nothing more than to slam that smug look into the wall.
But not yet. She had to be patient about this.
Billie said nothing. She watched him again. Studied him.]
