Even though your conscience is advising you against seeking help from this much-bigger-than-you warrior woman (who could very easily crush you into a lifeless pulp if she so chose), you decide to flutter towards her anyway. She might be your one and only shot at escaping this diabolical dungeon, after all!

 

"Hm..?"

 

Alvet hears a series of tiny fluttering noises and turns her head in your direction. Unfortunately, the disgusted look on her face suggests that she's mistaken you for an annoying fly. Maybe you should've listened to your gut...

 

"Thou will not feast upon my blood, bothersome insect!"

 

As Alvet tries to swat you away, you manage to dodge her hand with swift movements through the air. It doesn't take long for her to tire of this method, however - her futile efforts to break out of this cell had to have taken a lot out of her. Now's your chance to explain your situation and get her help!

 

"Hey!" you yell up to her with your tiny lungs. "I'm not a bug, I'm a fairy!"

 

Alvet's eyes widen at what she hears. The muscular lady may not seem like the book-smart sort, but she's very aware that bugs don't talk. At least, not in a language that she understands. This knowledge helps her realize that you really are telling the truth.

 

"Apologies, little fairy..." Alvet responds after a few seconds of awkward silence. "I should not have acted so recklessly. What art thou doing in my cell? Art thou here to assist in my escape from this prison?"

 

You nod your head in affirmation, which brings a soft smile to Alvet's lips.

 

"Thy help is appreciated, small one. But what is thy plan?"

 

Truthfully, you do have at least a few ideas for how to bust out of this death trap. One idea would be to simply pick the lock on the cell door - this should be relatively easy at your size, so long as nobody is watching. Another idea would be to have Alvet swallow you and feign a stomachache to trick the guards into opening the cell door themselves, so that she can beat the sense out of them warrior-style - of course, you risk being digested this way. A third option would involve you flying between the cell's bars and searching the area for a key, or a guard's weapon to bring to Alvet.

 

With her fighter lifestyle, you assume Alvet has quiet the amount of body heat - perhaps she could build that up and melt a way through the door? Or, the two of you could simply dig at the walls or floor to find a secret passage out of here...
