accurately compliment her perfection and benevolence

You do that. You do that with all your heart and it is very beautiful and moving and totally honest and not a desperate attempt to avoid being thrown in a deathtrap.

It doesn't work. Luckily, because of Loather's cost-effective spending habits (she is most certainly not cheap and you would never dare to suggest such a thing), they only have one inescapable deathtrap and it's the one the dumb kid you're trying to rescue/stop is already in. So your plan was a total success! You're right where you need to be!

Except for the small detail that you don't know how to get this kid to stop crying his masterpiece or how to get either of you out of this deathtrap. But you should be able to work something out.

So what are you going to do?
