Ildemu also stands, but betrays no hint of worry or urgency. He holds up a hand. "Please, Mr. Leancam. Let me explain some things to you about the state of affairs in Hara, and perhaps you'll understand why we're hoping to protect you."
He gestures once more to the chair, offering the seat to Wil once again. "Please. Sit, and we'll discuss it."
The guards relax a bit at Ildemu's words, and some of the tension dissipates.Ildemu returns to his seat and continues speaking. Outside the window behind his "host", Wil can see a small brown sparrow alight on a branch, cock its head and flutter its wings a couple of times before it launches into the air once again. "You see, there is a... well, cult is the best way I can put it, within Hara. Its members seek out and capture those with arcane talent, and these unfortunate souls are, as far as we can tell, never seen again. Whether they are killed, or otherwise indisposed, we do not know. But we are trying to protect them. Move them to safety before they can be taken hostage by this insidious group. That is all we are offering you: safety within the city until the guard can put an end to this threat."
He offers a smile. "You said yourself that your teacher had been attacked by bandits... I would hate to see the same happen to you. The War has done horrible things to people's opinions on magic. We're striving to change that. Will you help us?"
