Things were growing back into Sabine's comfort zone. She knew what to do from here.

"You do not have to believe us," she said. "If we were your enemy, we could have told the Thalmor and they would probably abduct you and your family. We do not want to know about other Talos worshippers." Sabine stopped to think about how much to say about themselves. She half-raised a hand and glanced up at the man's eyes for only a moment. "All that you must know is that the people who are now taking your friends have been fighting us for a long time. They have been taking people from us for a long time. We need to know why they are now hunting Talos worshippers and we want to stop them. If you answer us, you will not give answers that endanger your friends. You will not see us again."

Sabine tried to move onto the first question before the man had a chance to retort. "Those people on the list. Do you know if they purchased symbols of Talos from the same merchant? Did anyone out them or tell others about them in secret?"
