I make no promises that there is anything I can do to help her, nor would I put her before my own life and own hostage. However, in repayment for the information you have provided, which I believe will do us all a great deal of good, I can at least offer consideration.
[she says this all very formally, with a polite bow of her head.]
If you are secure enough in the knowledge that some here know of her condition, that is satisfactory to me as well. If there is some other payment I may offer instead, you may propose it.

Out of curiosity, was there glitter that we missed?
[but more importantly - ]
As far as you could tell, did she seem in her right mind? A girl resisting attack, rather than a person also possessed by spirits?

As far as I could tell . . . she seemed as right as she could be. She only ever tried to flee from me.
[Because she clearly wanted to live. That rankles.]

Is there ought else you feel we must know, or learn from your experience?

Was there any hope of those close to you noticing something was amiss?

[He takes a moment to consider the week's events.]
I doubt it. But if you look carefully enough, it shouldn't be impossible.

[hmm.]
Is there anyone here who has been told the name and identity of your hostage?
no subject
I don't think I mentioned her until recently . . . By now, I've told a good number of you.
no subject

I don't need payment, and I don't expect you to prioritize my desires over yours. But if you really want to know . . . Her name is Mari.
