[That's a hell of a question, coming from Ouma of all people. Ouma, who seems to go out of his way to make sure people don't trust him. It feels like a trap. One option means he's completely naive, but the other means he's a complete asshole for ignoring what looks kind of like an olive branch, however barbed it might be.

Ouma reach out to him, and for a moment he just eyes that hand like he's deciding how it might be turned against him. Then he frowns and takes it, tugging Ouma up onto dry ground.

Which isn't to say he's agreeing to that plan, of course. He's just a decent person. One of them has to be.]

We'd still be trapped in the tower until the person in charge comes back. Aren't you just banking on him not caring if we abandoned everyone else?

[It doesn't seem wise to anger an apparently powerful wizard.]
