She tried to bite me when I had my arms around her at the butterfly garden. But [he lifts the arm in question—bare, since he's wearing a different outfit] she didn't manage to reach skin.
That will likely do. If you wish to give me a name so that I will know if there is ought I may do for her, you are welcome to. 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.

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.

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.
