This was before I arrived this time, yes? I have no idea what happened then, so I can't comment. [He sighs and clicks to video, expression even and serious, if somewhat annoyed.]
Perhaps you're right and I'm just asking for frustration, but we've had a number of things happen just since I've been dropped here. While you were a mermaid, I was a man-eating monster and nearly ripped limbs off two of my friends. We've had at least one person come back from the dead.
And now this escape attempt...well, it certainly hasn't ended as planned. I wouldn't be surprised if our captors chose to retaliate.
Perhaps people will be more receptive to another attempt? As I said, I'm not trying to set up anything formal-organization is not my strength. I just want an understanding that if someone screams for help, someone else will be willing to answer. [There's a moment's hesitation and genuine discomfort, and he adds:]
I have friends and family here. They matter more to me than my pride. Would you be willing to discuss this face to face?
