Circil listens intently, the entire time, letting him take his time and explain, asking leading questions to draw out more details about nearly everything. Hours later, with several bottles of very good alcohol finished, he catches up on his history. "So, the one who attacked us... that was Svala, the one who traveled with you? How sad that she's joined your enemy. But... something seems to catch my attention. You said the blackguard was your enemy, but... did he attack you? To me, it seems he wanted to tell you something. Maybe he didn't take the best approach, but I wonder if he might have been actually trying to help you."
