Fendros' confusion was reflected right back at Ahnasha. "Ahnasha, I do not think we'll be forced to kill them."

She was already eager to move on. With Ahnasha not heeding Fendros' words, he exhaled and decided to leave the issue to a later time.

A short while later, they had the captives before them and were ready to get underway. The sheer volume of information that Ahnasha had meant that it would probably be better for them to get to the interrogations with Ahnasha advising as necessary. Fendros did not want to detain the driver and the girl any longer than they needed to.

"I'll see what I can do," Fendros responded to Ahnasha. He walked up to the woman and child and beckoned them up. "Stand up. Come with us, please."

Fendros' voice was calm, but firm enough to remind them to obey. He took them to the next room, one way or another, and sat them down at a table while he and Ahnasha remained standing. Fendros looked over them both with a neutral face. "Do you need any water? Or food? What are your names?"

Instead of a hostile approach, Fendros wanted to try and build a rapport with these people in case they were innocent. Offering some hospitality would be a better opening to calming their nerves than simply assuring their safety after the threats he had previously given.
