Swamped

The easiest question to ask is the obvious one his last outburst suggested.

"For what?"

Leonard's eyes open and he sits up, panicked.

"Who... Who are you?"

Well, you've got his attention. Now you need to work out what to do with it. Is it better to calm him down in hopes he'll answer more clearly, or to leave him worried in hopes that he's careless about what he lets slip out?

Perhaps you'll get a better sense of which way to carry it if you keep the conversation focused on your own questions.

"What does the Guild need you for?"

He looks up, and awkwardly pulls his hands together. He's praying. Though you've no idea to who.

"For peace," he says finally. "So many of our members only think of themselves. It takes careful guidance to help them work for the benefit of us all. Petty grudges threaten to consume them otherwise, and all that we've built will fall apart."

Well. You can't say you were expecting that answer. So it takes you a moment to think of how to follow up.
