"I suppose no one has really filled in the blanks for you, have they? Disappointing. You know, in Kin'cora, I hear they've become terribly efficient in information.

"But you seem a smart and intelligent woman, despite what little you've been told by your comrades. I think it only fair I give you a bit of an edge over them, hm? I'll make a deal with you.

A pause and then he looked back at the camp. "Of course, I can't very well tell you what we're truly doing here. So I shall rule that one out right away."
