Fess up about the letter, but lie about its contents.
"I came to your base to let the marshguards know we aren't stockpiling poison. And I need a way to let the bogknights know we made it...and that the marshguards aren't collecting poison in retaliation. The last thing I want is to escalate this conflict."
"I also figured if I'm going to have to pay for escaping, I might as well head to a place where a certain pen-pal would get the credit for capturing me. Can you make sure they send it?"
Once the letter is discovered, this puts Shrike in the position of needing to collude with you to avoid looking like he's colluding with you, and encourages him to claim the letter as his own.
Shrike shares your interest in wildlife, so it would make for good conversation while he takes you back to your cell.
"Saw a few things on the way over here. Did you hear about the Fenguin?"
