Standard advice about beating Detect Thoughts - during that transient pleasant interlude while your captors haven't yet gotten around to torturing you until your will is broken, or also cursing you with -12 WIS so you have a four-year-old's self-control - is that you find something to think about, rather than not think about. It's fine if it's something horribly fascinating. And in the back of your mind, you have something else to not think about which is not as ruinous - Abrogail's passwords, maybe, such as a would-be Queen might need - actually she does not want to share that with Carissa either.
That time she noticed that some part of herself was glad that Carissa was having fun.
There's a thing to try not to think about.
Or tropes - not thinking of any hopes where the audience might watch her thoughts - she has some practice in not thinking that. So she can carefully not think any tropey hopes, even while trying to focus her actual thoughts - on -
The two times she's had sex with Carissa? Would that make Keltham jealous, or aroused, or angry, would he take revenge on her in - in a useful way, in a way that means she wins - no she shouldn't think that, it decreases the chance that Keltham -
How strange, she actually does not want him doing that to her, breaking her pride as a woman, not even if it's useful. She would have thought that it would be a more sexual thought than that, to her, being wholly overcome by a man. Maybe it's the aching hole in her Splendour, that it takes stronger feelings to be that more interesting Abrogail.
Well. If she really would hate it, that definitely increases the chance he'll bother to humiliate her, if the boy has gained any manhood at all.
Romance novel tropes -
Surely she cannot be taken, subdued, conquered, this easily, this cannot be the end for her, just like this, it lacks drama -
(That's a hopeful thought, Aspexia has forbidden her to think those -)
No! No it's safe to think that. It's a vague hope - and Keltham or Carissa or both are reading her mind, and now their character viewpoints matter - if she thinks 'it can't end for me with this little drama' and they believe it's the end for her based on their specific plans and this is true, that doesn't fly as drama, something unexpected would happen from their standpoint, something would shake up the story -
