With the bicorn woman awake, it’s time for some questions! Lambert will cut off anything he doesn’t deem immediately useful/relevant to the situation, because he’s an asshole, but … as soon as she’s conscious and can support herself, he’ll stand and direct his attention outward, warily watching for any sign of interruption (and hopefully, Childermass and 9S reappearing).

Syrlya is going to crouch to horselady’s level and speak softly because someone needs to be like, soothing here. He got this. But if no one else has any questions before he reassures her “we’re friends, and we want to help you”, he’ll get to the most important: Was it the Prince who did this to her, and why?

“Do you even know where you are?” Lambert will add to that, frowning.
