He gives a reverberating chuckle. "So, they have authorized the Pattern Spiders to directly unmake me as an abomination to the universe. Of course. We are of them and not at the same time, and Yu-Shan's remaining authority would allow this more easily than normal. Still, they don't worry me, and you will soon see why."
"As for what I'm doing, I'm preparing to leave my cell. I've had enough of waiting for them to see reason, and my patience is gone. I don't believe it will happen, because the leadership is paranoid. Sad, too. They are strong allies and dangerous foes."
"They love to talk, so I'll make a term for them: let me out of my cell, and I'll find my own way out of the city. No fuss, no muss. Refuse, and I'll find my own way out of the city. More fuss, lots of muss."
"So if they have something other than a threat I can swiftly make empty, even weakened as I am, I will reason. If they do not, I shall finish what I am doing unless interrupted. If they do that, I will use plan B. Feel free to ask them on my behalf if they have something I want."

The elder voice speaks and voices some pent up irritation. "We can't give him his wife, because we don't know where she is. I don't know what this vicious creature wants other then that, because he's not offering us anything either. He's got more to lose then we do, and he doesn't see that." His voice relaxes. "I think he might listen to you. Just show us that you are not rash, and not only will we all win, but you will have your chance at glory against a foe greater than any you've ever fought."
