*Vaseraga 'hrmphs', and crosses his arms, perhaps appearing unhappy for the first time since he's arrived at the room. Despite this, he lets Zeta talk.*
Zeta: I was taking it to one of the Luminary Knights. She would've known what to do, but I got lost trying to navigate the Grim Basin, and ended up here. She would have known what to do with it, whether to burn it or show it to the public. Now I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm always going to be in danger while in possession of it.
*Vaseraga laughs, then stands up straight.*
Vaseraga: So then hand it and yourself over for trial, and nobody else in this room will be harmed.
*Zeta growls, and her spear points itself at Vaseraga's heart, even though he'd probably still live even if it stabbed him.*
Zeta: Urusai! It's not like you or Beatrix can do much to them. 
Vaseraga: Eustace, though? He could put a hole in each and every one of their heads should he want to. Now be a good girl and give me the book.
*Zeta hesitates to respond, cause she A, knows that what he said about Eustace is true as fuck, and B, if Eustace is involved, she really doesn't want to fight him, because he's still a good friend of hers, an amazing fighter, and her crush.*

*Eustace can't resist facepalming at Sasha's words, but continues trying to make sure her internal organs are intact with his remaining hand.*
Eustace: Useless. 
*He then goes back to dressing her wounds, and stands up after he's done. He looks at Sasha for a little bit, before leaning back down and trying to help her up.*
Eustace: You need rest.
