Marlene raised her eyebrow slightly, she had been up for days, since the initial attack on Molecay, and the stress was starting to wear on her physical form. Her thoughts were less organized, her mind was having trouble keeping it's laser focus on pertinent realities. A good night's sleep, and a moment to clear her mind was what she needed, yet this girl kept prying her with questions.

Halena was more a guest of Marlene's than a prisoner.

"Clear my mind, push the errant thoughts and voices into silence, and try to get some sleep." Marlene responded.

"Despite what the Asylians believe, prisoners in Aschen custody are given a few basic rights, depending on their classification. I'll have to let you read Confessor Kesslee's essay on prisoner treatment." Marlene said, starting down the hallway, gesturing for Tolend and Halena to follow, she appeared distracted, as she tried to scry more answers from the ether, as to what drove Halena to ask so many questions.

Marlene grasped at a fleeting answer, and plied the princess with a simple question.

"You want to ascend." Marlene said, almost at random.
