"So, what shall we do now?" I whisper into Xiao's ear, stroking her hair.

Sand-Claw:
"Oh, that would be amazing!" Irene says, standing up.
Layla:
"Let's just enjoy each other's company for the last—" Xiao says.
"Minute," the woman says.
"Oh," Xiao mutters. "Well, we should probably get going..."

What should I do? I can't just leave her hear to starve and be mistreated!

"Yeah..." I say, standing up. I look around for something to dry off.Wonder how many people are planning some kind of help effort for these people...

"That's what we'll do then!" I say, and pick her up gently. Then I get a running start, and take to the air.

Nyx:
Sadly, nothing is coming to mind except take her to the guild hall and have her hang out there for a while, until you guys can check in on her again.
Layla:
A few seconds after you turn around, a towel lands on your head. You hear Xiao giggling behind you, suggesting that she may have been the one to toss it.
Sand-Claw:
Irene tenses in your arms, but does not scream. You have a bit of a bumpy takeoff, but you quickly get into the air. Irene looks around in awe.

"I might be able to help you. But I'm going to have to talk to a few of my comrades first."

"Everything looks different from up here doesn't it?" I ask Irene.

Nyx:
The woman's eyes light up.
"Oh, that would be wonderful!" she says.
Sand-Claw:
"Yeah..." Irene says, her voice overflowing with awe. "How high can you go?"

I roll up the towel and snap it on Xiao playfully, before it get's too wet, so it doesn't hurt. I laugh a little back and start drying myself off.
"You know... my wings are awefully hard to dry with a towel by myself... you know what that means..?" I say, with a mischievous smile.

"I've never figured that out yet," I say cheerfully. "I think I'll find out!" With that said I climb higher at a quick rate, but not full speed.

"What I'm thinking is that we will negotiate with the authorities and get you released into our custody. You will work the remainder of your punishment at our guild hall and keep it clean. You will have all the food you need as long as you don't over-indulge. We plan on visiting regularly to relax a bit and regroup, so you won't be alone all the time. If the other lady is willing, you won't ever be alone. And you will both have decent boarding as well. The debt caused by having these benefits will mean that your work will last longer, but it will be in better conditions. And as long as you work diligently, you will be free to work at your own pace while we're gone. Sort of like a live-in maid. Does that sound like a fair deal?"

Layla:
"Ooh!" Xiao cries. "You naughty woman!"
After you mention your wings, she just smirks.
"You're going to have to let them drip-dry," she says. "You're not supposed to be getting help, remember? Or do you want to break that?"
Sand-Claw:
The higher you go, the more Irene seems out of it. Eventually, she actually passes out! You realize that you're going too high for her lungs to handle!
Nyx:
"Oh, gods, yes!" the woman exclaims. "We would be happy to do that for you!"

"Alright. Let me get dressed. I'll go talk wiith Layla and Xiao. Layla's the one who's good at negotiating it seems." I get out of the water and get dressed. After I'm done, I turn to the woman. "What's your name anyway?"

I simply flare my wings out again to remove some of the water.
"Hey, there's nothing naughty about playing around!" I say in responce.
