My, the hero has finally arrived.

I appreciate you not doing that.

[Deadpan, but no less sincere. He knows he's at a disadvantage against those with magical inclination. Has to be careful.]

You didn't bring me here, but you want to get me out of here. Would it be too forward of me to ask why you need me gone? Most folks where I'm from don't do this sort of thing for free.

The price of the magic to make you leave is worth the outcome. You are, dear soldier, a hinderance to my plans. [Yes, she openly admits it, but only because they both know she can also just kill him.] So rather than dispose of you, I am giving you the chance to leave.

What could be more advantageous for you?

Apologies for late replies, IRL kidnapped me

[Steve has dealt with liars, tricksters, psychopaths before. This feels different. There is a purpose here yes. But there is also a seed of honor.

He should nourish that seed. Be the better man. Believe in the potential this sorceress has rather than judge her. She has not hurt him nor anyone else since he arrived here. She does not want to fight him nor does she want Steve to fight her.]

That's mighty generous of you, Ma'am.

[He bows his head respectfully and slings his shield across his back in a show of good faith. The Captain may have just walked right into a trap but he's willing to take that risk.]

No worries!

[She's honestly not one to be trusted, but she is not one to lie, either. Truly, though, Steve, there is no nurturing to be had. You are in the way of her plans, it has nothing to do with honor.]

I can be quite generous when I please, even if I am uninvited. I have bestowed many a gift to those who would think I was capable of only ill will.
