They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.

She is just barely holding onto the ability to do communication at all, here, if he doesn't talk she's not going to be able to answer.

I wonder if there's a polite way to bring it up at all. They probably have people affected like you were -
lurkingkobold
Yeah.
I could - her breath hitches again and it's a few seconds before she can continue - I could give anyone who wants one because of that a spell to teleport them home. And arrowproofing, if -
