His mind drifted, ignoring her completely even when she started to eat slowly. He was not going to pay her any mind at this point. All he could wait for was for her to mess up somewhere and in most of those cases, they usually did. Maybe that moment came when she rose up to take a shower. He did not care what happened in those seconds, but only when the door closed and the water began to run did he wait for a seconds to actually make a move. He could focus on eating later if it meant he got out of there. He examined the headboard and began to lift his body up against it. It may have been sturdy, but unless she went on a personal vendetta to know which hotel he was going to pick out of all the good choices in the area and had enough means to cover the expenses to "reinforce" the beds, she was lying. He did not have to worry about getting out the cuffs if the headboard itself would be the object to break.

He gripped the chains of the cuffs, using them to help pull against the object. He would stop every once in a while whenever he heard a certain sound, but then he would resume and he did not stop until he heard a crack and not from his body. He kept at it until he wore one side of it a bit that should the time arise, he could break free completely. He could worry about explaining the cuffs and some of the wood attached to it to someone another time. Long as he was able to escape the whack and get help, he was good.

When the water stopped completely was when he dropped the act and resumed going back to his disillusioned state. He even went the extra route of making it appear like he was drifting back to sleep. How many days would it take for someone to track him anyways? He could not think of that moment. He had to think of escaping to the fullest and not looking back.

(Hmm, he may still be stubborn within a month's time. Maybe three to four?)
