Confusion mixes into the looks of suspicion the exhausted sali already wear, the unconscious sali and the woman who took him already having left to the room through a clothed doorway. One sali opens their mouth, but then they look towards Enshala. The younger sali sits with a somewhat wide-eyed expression, glancing at Ryo and Jingyi from the statue, then settling on them again.

"Everyone wants to know what you want in return. Your price. We won't accept help from anyone if the price is too high."

The young sali speaks these words as if their own, backing them, chin even lifting with its voice firmer.

"If the debt is fair, we will accept you."

All eyes turn to the pair.
