"His name is important right now?" He's frazzled and something in him doesn't like that in the least, that she's insistent on his name in that moment, but he's shaking his head and dismissing it even as the door opens.
"The time for walking in and dragging out your people like it's nothing are gone, Jesper," he points out, knowing that talking sense is likely only to rile him up but he won't have him rushing off to his death either.
"Not discounting the likelihood of an account on the castle, we need several things to even consider it." He's already been thinking about this from things Jesper has said and having just met Wanda as well at the party. None of it made it easy though. "One is getting word to those in the castle who want to be rescued and having them disappear. Get out of the castle, away from the grounds and find a place to hole up. Close to the border hopefully. And we'll need someone that knows those lands. Got a random Matthias like friend to draw us a detailed map of Thorne? Not the official one but one that might give us details they're withholding?"
Of course he's thinking about it, even if he knows the likelihood of success are low. They were low to begin with.
"And we'll need to scout the area between here and the border. Maybe there's abandoned areas we could move them to. If we can get them past the border. Do we know what the guards on the border are like?"
Already the wheels are turning, but he's trying to make Jesper also realize how much work there is to be done.
"It was not easy before whatever happened tonight. You're not rushing in there blind. Someone needs to make a case to the the leaders here not to retaliate blindly either. They could be giving into those behind this and giving them just what they wanted. War only benefits leaders and someone is looking to capitalize on tonight."
