I have to go to the Station. But a friend of mine had his cat here and when he disappeared, I took it in; would you be willing to look after him for me?
I'm planning on leaving tomorrow morning, if that works.
Ser Pounce-a-lot. And the only thing I can think of is just to keep an eye on him if he's not in your room -- I don't want an imp to try and eat him or anything.
[He hesitates in answering (could it be a trick?), but he does.] A lot. Almost anything. Tell me who you are, and if we're truly friends. I'll do what I can.
It was. I'm taking a lot of risks but I think it's better than waiting for proof someone can be trusted, because then I'd be waiting forever. I've only got my gut to go on right now, and my gut says I'm going to want your help.
Oh- Sigrid! I was trying to figure out who to tell... The Unseelie Queen is mad. She wants the shards of... [He's been going through papers, and now finds one where he wrote down the names.] Clarisse... la Rue. John Grimm, Nico di Angelo, and Korra. They need to be careful.
This is exactly the sort of thing I need of you. I need you to be my eyes in Caer Scima. I've got a lot of places covered and I can't tell you how, but I need you. And I don't care about courts anymore. If we can't keep battles from being fought, we'll keep them short and bloodless as we can for both sides, understand?
Yeah. I understand. I won't let you down. I don't care about courts either. People are dying and getting tortured because of this stupid war. I don't want anymore pain or bloodshed.
[Of course there will be more. It's something she has resolved to make peace with, but she hesitates to say it aloud. With such lofty ambitions, they have to give themselves every chance of success, and that includes avoiding early admission of defeat.]
Neither do I. A lot of people feel the way we do, too. That's important. If the monarchs won't let us make peace, we have to make it for ourselves where we can. We help people by getting the right information around to the right people. Only trusted people. And I'm sorry, but with what's happened of late, it's going to be me who decides who to trust for now. Don't tell anyone anything without asking me first. Sometimes in order for a plan to work, people have to not know things.
Now. Have you heard of a prisoner being delivered to Reynard, and if the party that's got him has left yet? And what path they took?
Yeah! I forgot about that. She asked for five champions. His name was Raonil or something, and they were headed for Mau...puh...tius... something like that.
[Maupertius, but he's having trouble with all these names.]
She said he was monstrous and had killed children. And at the time of court, she said 'three days hence'.
I can't remember the people that stepped forward by name, but I don't want them hurt. There was a man... two women... another guy... and another guy.

What would you do to protect them?

If I tell you my name, I risk you telling others. If people know who I am, I cannot help them or anyone.
But you have a good heart, and I wish for you to know, that we might work together to protect people. Will you keep my secret?

Do you remember me? Sigrid?

Yeah. Hey, Sigrid. That was you?
[He feels a lot better about agreeing to it. He got a good impression of Sigrid in their chat.]
