She doubted anything ever would.
Still, if someone were to look upon Winry they would notice nothing wrong. Perhaps she was a bit quieter than usual, but she managed to maintain a calm exterior, and she was certain much of this was thanks to the talk she and Naoto had had while on their way to Berum.
It had been years since she had let out on someone like that, and it had done her a world of good.
She wasn't stupid or naive; Winry still understood how dire the situation was, but she still believed they could make it out of this, and she would do everything in her power to ensure that.

However, considering the uncertainty of their fate...it would be pointless to do so. He was sure that they all were aware of the fact they could be possibly trialed and hung for a heinous crime none of them committed, so what point would it do for him to pretend as if all shall be well?
"Hm...?" Opening his eyes slightly once he heard a guard pass by, Kambei glanced towards the steel bars of their cell with mild interest.

Quite honestly, he could probably figure out how to break himself out if he really tried, but he knew that the best thing to do was submit quietly until he was given orders otherwise... as much as he wanted to rip through some throats with his bare claws.
"Zo... who vants to hear a joke?"

They had taken. The tripod.
Wolfina had had it under one arm when they'd frogmarched her off the ship, hoping these would treat it as an innocuous tripod like every other branch of authority tended to, but no, they'd taken it off her right before they threw her into the cell, chucking it on the pile of weapons taken off the other crewmembers and then shutting the door in her face.
She stood by the door, arms folded, murder on every feature. "Bastards," she growled at no one. "Damn militaristic bastards think they can just come and throw a whole damn ship in prison without a fair trial - this isn't justice!" She turned and bellowed out the door, "This isn't justice!", to make sure the guards were aware of her opinion, and turned back to the cold cell, glare even deeper.

"A joke would be welcomed..." He spoke to Maxim hoping that maybe a jovial joke could cheer them all up, especially Wolfina who seemed to be most troubled out of the three.

"Hokay, zo dere's dis ship on a lake, right? Und de captain has a parrot. Und dere's a magician on de ship vot entertains de passengers. Vell, de magician iz alvays doink dese magic tricks dot make tings disappear. Only de parrot iz vatching all de time und soon learns how he does it, so chust to be mean it kips spoilink de trick by tellink efferyvun 'Iz in his sleeve'!"
"Vell, vun day dere is a storm und de ship sinks. Efferyvun bot de parrot und de magician dies. Dey sit on a vooden plank und shtare at each odder for three days. Finally, de parrot breaks de silence und goes, 'Hokay, Hy gives op, vot did hyu do vit de ship?'"
After giving the punchline Maxim broke into laughter at his own joke, slapping his knee and leaning back against the wall. It was an honest attempt to lift morale a bit, but he ended up entertaining himself in the process.

She clenched a fist, giving herself something to focus on, and forced herself to think rationally. Her cellmates wouldn't benefit from a temper tantrum, and the more time spent thinking about the injustice of it all, the less time spent thinking of a way out. "Sorry," she said, partly to Winry and partly to all of them. "And Maxim..." She managed a hint of her old grin. "I've heard that one before."

Corny as it made seem, the laughter of others had always been good medicine for her.
When it came down to it, at this moment there really wasn't much that could be done; spending the waiting game in such strained silence was doing more bad than good, so she was really appreciative. Jagers always seemed to pull through in tough times.

"Me, I want facts," she said. "What happened in Doma wasn't our fault. So who was it and why'd we get framed?"

Leave Reial, continue on past the familiar skies they had always known. It was possibility, but one that made Winry so much more frightened and sadder than the one that sat before them now. For all they knew there could be no islands beyond this one, or at least, no other inhabited ones.
"Why not? Ivona already hates us specifically, so chances are it'd be easier to convince them to let us take the fall, regardless of whether we were responsible or not. I'd like to know who it was as well...finding the true culprits is the greatest respect we could pay those people."

"You are right, Maxim." Kambei replied finally after weighing out their options here. If they tried to escape now, that would only backfire against them and it seem as if the 4423's crew is guilty for poisoning Doma. However if they stayed here, the samurai ( ... )

Even though he couldn't quite understand the panic and despair that seemed to be running rampant among his crewmates, Maxim was still trying his best not to be insensitive about the things he said. Though sometimes "trying his best" didn't always keep him from saying stupid things.
He glanced around at his cell mates with a wide grin. "So... who vants to play twenty qvestions?"
