Bella unties the fellow's gag first. "Who're you?" she asks.
"Name's," he coughs, "Kanim."
"What's with the ears?"
"Unpleasant surprise," he says. "Wizards figured out how to get in and out safely themselves by taking unpleasant surprise bait with them. The ears are just the most visible thing on me, I was bait for a few trips."
"Is that why she's blue?" Bella asks, jerking her head in Tony's direction.
"No," says Kanim. "Don't think so. I think that's fire suppression, or something."
"Oof." Bella swallows and turns to the princesses, working on the knots around Kanim's hands. "Um, my specs are almost completely broken, only one lens left - I panicked and put them on trying to figure out how the cave worked when we were split up and they exploded in my face, all I have is a spare witchlens that wasn't on them... I'm going to be less use than usual till I have new ones made."
