Myr nods, curtly, and then turns to Kalia.

Rosalind, a word?

He ushers Kalia further away from the door, where they are less likely to be overheard. He's a little stiff, like a spring that's been wound too far.

This man has most likely been ensorcelled, deeply so. It would be dangerous to send him back even in the direction of where he came from. I don't know what relationship you have with your employer. Or whether they would be willing. But helping this man rebuild his life is surely, something they are better able to do than we are.

He takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. It's strange to see him like this. Formal, clipped and short.

If nothing else, debriefing him would give you the entire timeline of what has happened here. Just compare with the people and places he's supposedly interacted with. Which has surely got to be of professional interest to them, if only in dealing with the damage. Not in enough time to help us, perhaps, but if the Six are not stopped here they will strike again, and knowing what they did here might make all the difference.

Of course if we don't act immediately, then we might lose him. If someone can convince him that he's been working with people he hasn't, they might in turn have convinced him to do almost anything when he's caught. You'll have to hold him by force.

You'll also have to check out everyone he knows, friends, family, estranged relatives, see if they've been removed as well. Oh, and just in case...

He looks up and calls out. Sorry, your name isn't Malthus is it? No? Just checking...
