That question and my response, out of earshot of the prince. "Let's question him first and then perhaps you are right."
"Can someone conjure up some dull noise so the prisoners can't hear us out hear?"
"Maybe we will need our own prince to talk to this one."
While I am outside getting his glass of water, if anyone has any questions for the prince (I relay what little I have learned so far), I take notes and when I return I bring paper and pen along with the water.
