[Swift is avoiding video this time for a good reason, though it's not that hard to figure out how he's feeling from just his voice. He is obviously not happy and his voice is low and quiet and rather tightly controlled.]

Some assistance, please, if you would. It seems I've been locked into my room and I'd rather not jump out the window if I can help it.

[He pauses for a moment there, silent.]

Seel is gone, which is for the best for now. At least you won't have to fight him to get in. I'm not sure if he left the front door unlocked either, though I doubt it. Do what you have to, I suppose. Although I'm sure there are more than a few of you who would be happy to just leave me here.

[He probably shouldn't have said that, but he's irritated.]

Regardless, I would be grateful. I'll find some way to repay you once I can see more than the walls.

Then I don't come back. Even if I weren't in love with him, I couldn't just be rid of him, either.

What if you end up being the one who hurts him?

I've never thrown a har into a room or hit him because I ran out of things to say.

Has he ever locked you in a room before? Things can happen even if they've never happened before.

There's a reason Thiede gave him to me.

Gave him to you. That sounds like you think of him as a possession.

Re: audio

[swiftlet]

I don't. But I know what he's like. And if a bruise or two is what it takes to keep him from doing that to someone else, I'll take it.

And if it's his hands around you neck or a knife to your throat - will you take that too?

Yes.
