Suzie shakes her head. "Have you noticed yet that Thane hasn't killed any of us on sight? Knocked us out, tortured us... Everything I've seen tells me that he's interested in having power over people. He's not above casual elimination, but if he's interested enough, he'd be more likely to try and take me apart first. He's kidnapping people for a few drinks and a friendly ear, now. If he's willing to hear me out at all..." and yes, that's a long shot, but she's taken longer, "...that gives me time to get to him. All I have to do is be interesting enough."

I'm sorry. But you know it's true. And better me than them.

"Besides, if he's busy with me, he's not trying to hurt the rest of you. It makes sense, Gwen." She's not going to plead on this, not going to beg... That kind of manipulation won't get her anywhere. What she is going to do is keep pushing for this.

Unstoppable force against immovable object. Something's got to give, and it won't be her.
