Huh... He's really doing it. While Rita's never used a binding spell like this before, she has enough familiarity with the concept to tell that this is the real thing. The main issue is his conditions... A lifetime of living among fae has left Rita skeptical of agreements like this. There are always loopholes, and those can prove disastrous should one be inclined to take full advantage of them.

For one, his promise only applies to this conversation... and while he specified two groups he won't repeat the details to, there's still the possibility of him speaking to someone else. Is there anyone else that would pose a problem, should they learn what she knows? The only antagonistic party to come to mind is the Rose Queen and her court, but Rita imagines they already have much of the same information as her. Also, not a likely alliance.

That aside... Strange? Weird name. Pretty fitting for a weirdo like him, though. Actually... is this deja vu? Rita feels like she heard that name before, and perhaps thought the same thing then... It's probably just her imagination, though.

"Fine," Rita agrees after a pause. She could argue for stricter terms, but it doesn't seem necessary right now. "But first, there's something I want to know. What's your angle? What are you trying to find out, and why do it behind the Council's back?" She could maybe understand prioritizing the local Circle chapter over the overbearing outsiders, but he doesn't even seem to be doing that.
