Lily’s glance darted to Posco, who had yet to say a word (not that this surprised her, especially with Gróin acting so excitable), and back to Gróin. She still found his claim strange and highly inconvenient, but it had been wrong of her to so instantly doubt him.
“Your pardon, Gróin,” she said. “It was wrong of me to doubt your story without waiting for an explanation. But I still do not see what it is I can do to help. I can try, but you seem to have a much better understanding of the situation than I do. Would it not be best to go and find this person – unless you think he – or she - might be out to hurt you?” she added doubtfully. "Surely he would still be nearby." Lily hesitated. She did not particularly want to be drawn into this, but... "Just tell me what you want help with."
