Swamped

"Er, hello," you say, awkwardly. "I'm Vivien, and I just want to get out of this swamp, but one thing or another keeps happening and I'm still here."

He doesn't respond, just continues glaring.

"I ran into her before. She's troublesome," Rivers says. "But I owe her a favor. Getting her out of the swamp strikes me as good for everyone."

Your captor glances away, probably at Rivers, then gives you a threatening glare before putting you down.

Well. He's got nothing on Razor for intimidation, but you definitely think it would be a bad idea to run off while he's watching.

"Can you just, keep the others away while we talk?" Rivers asks the silent man. "I don't want this to get complicated."

He rings a tiny bell once, and steps out.

"Don't worry. Ringer's not the sort to tattle, and not just because it's inconvenient for him to do that with a bell. So what the hell happened, I thought you were going to listen in and leave."

You're not sure how much you should tell her. She probably doesn't even care about the details, but she probably wants some sort of explanation before she accepts that you're not going to cause any problems for her.

What should you say?
