Ah, but even if you do not know them, do they not know you? I hardly think a stranger who holds themselves as proud and daunting as they do would throw themselves so upsettingly at a barrier that holds you and prevents you from being saved!
[sholmes looking over at baraqiel like dude calm down]
So press them further. They and the others have told me that they are prevented from sharing too much about themselves, but I would not be saying this if I did not deduce that something was there. It is worth a try.
Well, someone did say we got rather close quickly, which is true...
[ xie lian scratches his cheek, fidgeting a little. he is trying to give it thought, but... who knows. ]
...I will try, at least some. I don't want to harm them, either. The problem is not that I feel as though I can't ask... it is rather, that I think Baraqiel would tell me immediately, and then be punished along the lines of turning briefly to dust - or worse - if they did. They don't have as much concern for their safety as I would like.
I wonder if there's any way we can free our masked friends from the shackles of their roles. Even Baraqiel stated that their true name was locked away.
