[ If it's in his interest to downplay his own knowledge further later, Ernesto will be sure to drop the fact that he was the former deputy director of trade in the city he lived in for a number of years. It's hard to say yet just how much of a hand he should or shouldn't show to his fellow captives, but he's playing most of it close to his chest for now.

It's something he can't afford to dwell on right now though, especially because there isn't a good reason to trust that feeling. Instead of showing much reaction though, he hums in mild agreement, happy enough to latch onto the next thing this man has to say instead. ]

[ This man has heard it too, hasn't he? The muttered mentions of rituals... ]
