I hardly know her that well. I only spoke to her once, and met with her to give her my blinker stone. And... I know plenty about magic.

[She's momentarily distracted from her murderous intent by her indignation. Okay, so she's not exactly an expert, and she still needs a blinker stone, but who is he to underestimate her?

She bites her lip to keep from huffing, looking back at the wall to mask her expression. This may be an opportunity in disguise. She can get this man alone.]

I, ah... could burn a path through this wall, but I need my blinker stone. Without it, I'm not sure I could do more than light a match. [Or burn the house down. She's not sure; she hasn't tried.] Perhaps you... could help me get it back from her?

[If he agrees, she could lead him to any room, an unoccupied one, and take a bite.

He doesn't have to know that she can summon her blinker stone from anywhere, and that it never truly leaves her.]
