[Rinea is surprised but not particularly disturbed by their predicament. It's certainly not ideal to be attached to another person at the wrist, but it's not exactly dangerous either, and Somnus has seen Rinea in enough mortifying situations that this barely registers on the scale of embarrassments she has suffered in front of him.]
Good day, lord Somnus.
[Perhaps it's a testament to the amount of time she's spent with him, but Rinea's getting a little better at reading the minutiae of his expressions. His initial reaction was shockingly outsized-- did he really threaten the shopkeep?!--but now he just reminds her of Berkut, sullen and long-suffering but still attempting politeness. It's a bit sweet. (The fact that she might have something to do with his sour mood is entirely lost; after all, he has weathered much worse from her already. He surely wouldn't find a moment's touch intolerable... right?)
Her smile is mild and friendly.]
I didn't quite catch what our captor claimed was the key to release. Did you happen to hear them?
