"Oriana, just be yourself when you approach her; that's what we require," Yorian advised. "As King Drayce mentioned, your mission is to extract information from her. Make her talk, so you can discern her true desires and goals. She may attempt to attack or ensnare you, but remember, you must not harm her. If needed, you can employ a small measure of your powers to surprise her, provoking her into divulging more than she intended. However, you must not harm her, for harming her means harming Prince Arlan's family."
"So, in essence, I have to play dumb," Oriana summarized. "That way, I can gather information from her."
