The good news is that this is also the most sense he's made in a while, even if there's a lot of context that Rita clearly doesn't have.
Forced servitude, being changed against one's will... "That's what the fae always do," Rita mutters, bitterness in her voice.
And apparently, it's something Cole's seen before, too. Is it something that people can do to spirits...? If Rita plans on paving the way for a world where humans and spirits live together, it might be worth learning about how that can go wrong. Rita may have a higher opinion of her fellow humans than she used to, but she still knows perfectly well the cruelty they're capable of.
It's still nothing compared to what the fae do, though. But then... if Cole can pick up on Rita's thoughts, that makes her wonder. "Wait... Can you tell what the Prince, the guy in charge here, is thinking?" Or feeling, or whatever the hell it is that he reads from people.
