[Though not voiced, Caitlyn would know the feeling all too well. She had been doing her best to not draw any extra attention from the Council for a while, but after her conversation with Silco last month, she had been looking their way more. Maybe that's how she ended up being one of the lucky ones this time. All the same, it came with such a sense of dread and panic.]

Please-- take all the time you need. [Even if she doubted she would have issues convincing Marianne to come with her, she was still flooded with relief that the woman was so agreeable. But she knew Silco would never come this quietly.]

I don't want to be doing this either, I just want you to know that. I wish there was another way. There's so much we don't know about what happens if we don't comply with them.
