The Chaos Engine?
*Hood laughs*.
It's in their interests for you to disappear. That I know.... You think I'm Vortigern Jett? You maybe mistaken. As to my looks, I have reason to keep them hidden. For now you're in the dark Philomena, and you don't know why you are here.
*He slides his gloves back upon his hands*.
But while you are here you are safe. This labyrinth is vast, only a few dwarf miners and my colleagues know its passages. You can't escape. Please don't try.

No I don't think that you are Vortigern, he wouldn't betray me like that. I just meant you had lovely eyes like him... no Vortigern would not use a blade against me.
*She shakes her head and looks at his ring.*
AD... Absolem Darke? Why would he be involved. If I can't escape then please untie me. It is very uncomfortable and I promise to be well behaved.

You'd be a fool to run, that I warrant. You need to stay awhile and learn the truth. Who you can trust and who you can't.
*Hood nods slowly and stands up. He slides his knife from his belt*.
That's if you think you can trust me Princess....
*He holds the knife up to the light of the blue moonstones*.
If you run I'll just come after you. If you stay, I'll cut your bonds. Now who can trust who?

We will have to see but I am hardly going to flee barefoot through these dark tunnels. Untie me and then I can comb my hair. What did you do to me to get me in such a mess?
*She looks at him thoughtfully*
Who I can trust? I am hardly going to trust my kidnapper... but I won't run, I promise.

You'd be unwise to run.
*He whispers*.
You're being watched. I'm not here alone.
*He kneels down before her and cuts her bonds*.
The dignity you arrived with you still have, even if I did deliver you here unconscious in a sack, and ruffled your hair just a little as I tipped you out.
*He stands up and steps back, sliding his dagger back into his belt*.
You are free as much as you can be.... No need to thank me.

You've torn my dress and lost my shoes... do any of your colleagues have a mirror, some make up, anice gown and size 4 shoes in their possession? Or could get me some?
*She begins to comb her hair.*
After all if you're going to guard me, it is in your interest that you have a pleasant view.

It was dark Philomena, it's not easy to snatch someone from a galloping horse. Your injuries are minor. You could have lost much more than your shoes that night. You were riding with an assassin.
*Hood nods*.
Yes, we do have a mirror. Do you need it now or can you wait until morning?

The knight Styer, an assassin?
*She looks troubled*
What about Kalvos, is he safe?
*The mermaid nods*
Yes a mirror please and some new clothes? These ones are so torn that I might as well be naked.

Yes, you might as well be naked. Maybe another time, when I'm not quite so busy.
*He looks at the mermaid and nods*
Styer was called in from the Borderlands, given his orders to eliminate threats to the High Council. We became aware of this from our spies. Of which I am one.
*He sighs*.
After I took you, we led Styer on a false trail, planted mermaid's blood to think you'd put up a struggle and been kidnapped by your own. Human's have enough to contend with without making war on your kind.
*He nods*.
I shall get you a mirror, and find out what I know of Kalvos.

My kind would never spill my blood and... my family! Do they know I am safe? They will be worried and if they think I have been killed they might retaliate.
*She gives a faint smile. *
You must be extremely busy if you haven't got time to see me naked...
