[The speaker might look familiar- a little more disheveled than usual, but it's definitely Sabriel, peering through the screen like she's never seen one before- and then trying to compose herself.]

Greetings- I am Abhorsen, and I fear I am a stranger in this land. [Her tone is formal, but there's an undercurrent of urgency.]

I understand that this country is not troubled by the Dead- People I spoke to were very clear that the recent festivities didn't involve any real monsters. [Although she still doesn't understand how the candy is related.] I'm sure it was all very charming, but I'd like to know if anyone knows where I can purchase a sword- a real sword, not a toy. [She wavers, her expression softening a little before she presses on.] If anyone's seen a white cat with a red collar- He calls himself Mogget, and he's probably said something incredibly rude by now- or a man called Touchstone- he's a little older than me, with curly brown hair and two swords, and he doesn't really understand technology.

I have read the pamphlet, and I've been given no reason to distrust our well-informed hosts. [But there's an unspoken question in her tone- 'is there any reason TO trust them?'] Still, this is all- quite a story. [And one she's not sure what to make of- technology has never fascinated her, and this is all far beyond anything the devices in Ancelstierre are capable of.]

Interesting! Life force and souls as something that you consume is a new idea to me since I've arrived here... what's your place regarding these Dead? Do you study them?

So! You would say you're a protector of humanity?

If you're destroying creatures that prey on humanity, you sound like a protector of humanity to me!

How modest. [though it would be a little pompous to go around declaring oneself that. having someone else declare it is a slightly different matter.]

Well, modesty is an appealing trait, and giving yourself grand descriptions like that is liable to make people trust you less, for the worse part of it. So you're right not to do that.
