Delvin almost laughed when the girl suggested that he should go to the Astronomer's Guild to seek their help, Feld didn't bother hiding it.

"Go to the Astronomer's Guild? Are you ruddy mad lass? They would sooner take me away from Delvin and stick me on top of a staff than proceed to wave it around their brainless heads sooner than they would help me return to my body! Feld shouted through his pouch. Delvin once again tapped the pouch to silence Feld and then said to Liesal.

"We have some...bad experiences when it comes to seeking help from groups of mages, we don't trust any groups of mages anymore. And we most certainly have no intention to offering you to the church and what's the point anyway? You already have to provide your defense, the only way you can possibly win your defense is by convincing the people of Estemere that you're not a demon, or you could possibly run away from this town. Either option we will help in any way we can in exchange for your abilities.
