[His head's already swirling with all the new information that comes with a new mission, and he listens to the questions, one after another, without really retaining them.
He almost smiles, enough to show that what he says next is a joke at himself.]
I can't remember that many questions at once, so I'll answer the last one. I don't think he is, but he's had dealings with Astoria. We wound up helping him out in El Minha a while back.
[He frowns as he inspects the message again.]
...I don't know what he's saying he failed at. If he managed to screw up everything in his city, that doesn't say much for our record. Not that you should be worried about things like that.
[She's a kid; all she should be concerned about is staying alive and getting the hell out of here. Heck, Firo's not really going to cry over the eventual fate of El Minha or any of these places; at least, that's what he tells himself.
It doesn't yet hit him that the failure and the command to "find the princess" might be linked--that their mission might be the same as the king's was.]
