She's always here just ask to speak with her in her office or something but you want to make sure nobody else hears you vouching for me or they'll get mad at you for sticking up for me

[ensorceler]

I can Speak with them all.

[hostage]

The fewer the better

I don't want you at risk

[ensorceler]

But you cannot be released into a peoples that reject you. This is not efficient; not well managed.

I am apt at managing.

[hostage]

I just want Ros to understand that I'm sorry for what I did and I won't do it again, that no one's in danger

I can handle whatever comes next

[ensorceler]

You are sorry?

This is not the way, for them to think you have been condemned without trial and somehow made better. I heard of no sentence passed! You have been treated no better than a dog, and they must be held accountable.

[hostage]

It IS the way

Please trust me

Just talk to Ros and explain like I told you

I'm doing everything I can to please them and they don't need to be scared

That's all

[ensorceler]

[ More delay. ]

If you promise to then talk to me.

[hostage]

Of course I will

[ensorceler]

Then I will be swift. Please ponder on to better things for a time.

later; after getting b&

[ensorceler]

It was for naught, and I fear I have only hurt you more. Her ears were closed to my Words.

I am banished like a traitor.

[ And NOW SHE'S SCARED FOR HERSELF because clearly they lock up people they see as a threat. P.S. she's crying; he doesn't need to know that. ]

[hostage]

What happened?

[ensorceler]

Mistress Small, though dignified in her speech, is misguided in her beliefs and actions and none can return her to the righteous path. In such misdirection she escorted me away.

Now you shall never talk to me.

[hostage]

No

It's OK

What's happening? Did they arrest you?

[ensorceler]

Had I further resisted, I fear that I was only moments away from the gallows.

[hostage]

But you're OK now right?

[ensorceler]

None laid their hands upon me.

[hostage]

I'm so sorry

I'm such an idiot

[ensorceler]

[ Y e s. ]

It is they who are making false judgments and accusations, and acting upon prejudice rather than truth and goodness and sense.

I will be silent no longer.

[hostage]

Don't

It's enough just stay safe now

[ensorceler]

As there is no king and no law, I have only my conscience and the love of Jesus Christ to guide me. I will not stray.
