"If you say so." He sighed. "Look, if it'll make you happy, I'll tell you what I know about my prison, but it's not much. I got pulled in from the void, and now I'm in what kind of looks like an office building. That's all. I don't know if Nameless can somehow track whatever traces of magic may have been left behind. Just be as careful as you can around stuff that the manipulator has tampered with. I don't know who he is or what he's capable of. If Nameless can't find me, well, I hope this guy doesn't kill me immediately. It would be a shame to miss out on so much."
He sat silent for a moment. Then, suddenly, he stood and seized Haly by the shoulders. "Whatever you do, whatever happens, remember this. I'm not worth dying for." Tears welled up in his eyes. "Please be careful."
Then, he hugged her.
