[Wrathion's reminder earns a scowl. Yes, yes, the time. But if she can get through to Miang-Si here and now, the future might not turn out quite so poorly - for the village or for Miang-Si. And if Miang-Si intervenes, Caitlyn assumes that Wrathion will be less likely to want to resort to violence.]
They're going to lock the village in a time loop. They hope to keep as many people as possible safe from the undead, but in truth they'll only condemn everyone who lives here to a half-life. But if we can stop them, if you can help us stop them...
[It's an earnest plea, made by someone on whom an appeal to the greater good would work easily. But Caitlyn's words seem to fall on deaf ears. It quickly becomes apparent that Miang-Si has no interest in the fortunes of the village, only her own fortunes. So Caitlyn switches tactics.]
I've seen your future, Miang-Si. I've seen you chained up, paraded around as a witch. They'll capture you and force you to tell them who the ladies of the lake are. But you can avert that, you can make a better future for yourself, if you help us stop them. [She recalls the wistful way in which Miang-Si described the ladies during their last meeting. Free.] If you help us, you won't just free the village. You'll be free, too.
[But even a plea for Miang-Si's own future doesn't seem to work.]
