Daine stands, scooping Biscuit up along with her and urging Flicker to calm down. ROMAC isn't safe, she says bluntly. Not to folk who aren't human, anyway. If the Balladeer even suggested it, he must have wound up with them and not had a terrible experience... but he's a two-legger. There's no reason for them to put him in a cage. A person with horns and a tail and magic might not get off so lightly. They put a friend of mine in a cage, and they might do the same to you.

She attempts a placating smile for the Balladeer's sake - there's no need to worry him with this - then turns back to Asmodia. I know folk who won't cage you. It's not too far to walk. If they can just let her take care of it, this'll be so much simpler.
