Hey, every one of us glorious abductees! A question, to those listening right now, brought to you by myself and Master Archeval due to the considerations of a friend, but: what would you make of being informed that, and here I'm quoting, "The man you trust was six years not among us?"

( A dramatic pause, for digestion purposes. )

All said and done, with that message slipped to me, I can say with certainty there's a handful I fully trust here, and there's none I trust entirely from here, no offense. However, there is one we've been forced to trust, ah? In hearing these words, what are your thoughts?

Still, it's not much of a room, more narrow with a basin for water acting as a sink and a beaten metal mirror that barely functions, and a clean trough of decent size for human bathing needs taking up most the space near the shuttered window. An older talisman hangs from the side nearest to the door, and a bucket, placed by the door, helps indicate some of how water is hauled in. )

Here we are! I do ask for help hauling in the water, but it keeps everyone warm in the process. Unless you have some quicker means, in which case, please!

Water won't be a problem.

[ But as soon as Regulus took in the contents of the room, he was distracted by the talisman. ]

What is that? [ Obviously, the talisman. ]

[weifinder]

Good! ... Why?

( Curious, he tosses Regulus an open eyed look, not doubting, but wanting to know. Meanwhile he flicks his hand toward the talisman: )

Heating talisman. Use your hand to smack it firmly against the tub's side once water's in there, it'll heat it up to just a bit warmer than body temperature.
