[Lenore reaches gratefully for the spiced wine with both hands, fingers only just brushing against his when she takes the mug.]
Thank you. And yes, they are obviously unnervingly good at kidnapping even fairly powerful individuals within the Summoned, regardless of our powers. So I am grateful for their protectiveness, on that count.
[She thinks for a moment, trying to consider where to start and what to prioritize.]
What I'd like to know most, if you don't mind, is what's special about the Summoned. I don't understand why it's so hard to get an answer to this question. We're highly valued, brought here intentionally, but toward what end? From what I've heard and experienced, there's relatively little in the way of organized efforts or responsibilities for us. What use are we? What are we meant to do? [And, therefore, what is it that makes them an appealing target for the captors?]
