"It's a country. Borders Azan, Iral...stop me if these start sounding familiar." 

"...No... are you sure you know what our word 'country' means?"

"The Hari Empire is a country?" 

"Yeah. It's a country."

"Do you know about any other countries?" 

"No."

"Well. They exist. I came from one." 

"...Okay. So you don't know about Har."

"I do now. But Sesat doesn't, no." 

"Can people teleport in Sesat? Like the way you came here. Is that normal there?"

"No. No-one in Sesat can teleport." And he's pretty sure no-one in Azan or Iral can do it either, or Sesat wouldn't exist. 

"...I'm really confused. Uh. What magic do you have?"

"Me? Or Sesat?" 

"Yes. Both."

"None. Well, none that anyone told me about, anyway." 

"...Oh."

Do I look like I'd be in this situation if I had magic that could have gotten me out of it, he doesn't say. 

"...You're very smart for an animal. If you don't want me to sell you to someone who will eat you alive, now's the time to give me a reason not to."

...what.

"What?!" 

Sigh. "Do you understand?"

"I understood what you said! I just don't know why you said any of it or what kind of reasons might persuade you not to let me get eaten alive." 

"If I sell you, I get rings. I want rings. If you can give me rings, I don't need to sell you. But you have to give me more rings than I can get from selling you and you have to make it more by a big enough number that I don't mind having to share space with you."
