The elf pointing it out, it occurred to Danielle. She wasn't sure if he did, but introducing the possibility would leave room for doubt. "It's...possible."The sorcerer says "If I go with them, they'll torture me into confessing. Look, I've committed some crimes, but I'm no murderer!" Danielle's mediation seems to be having some effect, though, as she feels the sorcerer's rush of magic dissipate with a whimper audible only to mages, and sees the knight lower his sword slightly. Gynnie speaks for the first time since the start of the confrontation. "If the boy lied about his star sign, could that have thrown off your reading?"
A little more determined to see this through to a non violent resolution, she got in the way again to properly face the boy. She supposed that he didn't really look much older than her own son, which is why she was so determined on helping him even if his actual sense of morals were questionable. "I'm the only person who might still be able to help right you now. If you lied, I need you to tell me the truth so I can help you. This might be your last chance too. Whatever you did, it's not worth covering up if you're facing execution to do it."
