There's a moment of grim contemplation before he presses on, shoulders relaxing ever so slightly. "You said you know where this girl is. Why have others not pursued her in the attempt to leave this place." Not necessarily to return where they come from, no. The place he'd been before arriving here had not been anywhere of great importance. It was his freedom that was the point. That someone would have the nerve to attempt to hold him against his will irked him greatly.
Who would have time for parties in a place like this, under such circumstances?
