She was smarter than she looked, but Jacob had a ready answer for her.  "We...tried to stop our...master from doing harm...to...our family.  He...sealed us away...for an eternity.  The seal...started to weaken...today...though why...I don't know."<br/><br/>"It...might be...because of how...old this thing is...brother."  Kirith panted in response, still 'acting' as if the air was running out, as was their time.  "Please....what little knowledge we might...share with you....will die with us...if you don't release us."  Jacob knew that they had her, hook, line, and sinker if they could keep up their act long enough.  If she fell for it, Kara would come to understand all too clearly why they were there and gain much more than knowledge if she was fool enough to stick around.
