[ Silco lifted a single eyebrow. See, here he was, trying to do the reasonable thing, and talk about this, but the man was already swept back to panic. He stood, this time, but even still. Silco could have left, but... he was rather certain that the Regent would not look kindly, if he were to just go, when he was all alone, having cornered this sad, anxious, confused man.

And Silco was, above all, interested in the cause. ]

Leave you all alone? By yourself? [ He almost looked aghast -- fake though it was. ] You do understand, that at least, we are here to collect people like you. Make sure you're not simply left alone in a cave?

[ It would be easy, but Silco didn't do things easy. He could just grab him, and teleport him back, but where was the fun? This man could be convinced, if he just breathed normally for a bit, and calmed down. ]

Instead, why don't you ask questions? I can assure you, I have answers. [ See? He's even reasonable, Bruno. ]
