He follows.

Vanyel knocks on the door to the Work Room. :Um, you two stay back a moment, I don't want to startle them: 

The Work Room is stone inside and mostly bare, furnished only with a couple of portable cots, a table, and a chair. Starwind is currently sitting on the edge of one of the cots, his arm around Moondance. 

"Vanyel," he says, neutrally. 

Moondance looks very miserable. He doesn't say anything to Vanyel. 

Savil is there with them. She seems to be supervising. "Van? Is something–"

"No, nothing is wrong back in Golarion, everything's fine. I just came to see Starwind and Moondance." 

:Nayoki, go: 

And she steps past him into the room, looks straight at the two of them, and hits them both with a set-command. :Do not Gate out. Do not run away: 

Savil catches the fringes of it enough that she scrambles to her feet. "Van! What–"

"I'm sorry." He really shouldn't explain this out loud in front of Starwind and Moondance, but probably they shouldn't leave them unsupervised in their prison either. 

:We just got some new information from Abadar, via the pharaoh: he sends in Mindspeech instead, excluding the Tayledras. :Abadar suspected the Star-Eyed would order them to carry out further missions. Nayoki will take it off later, but - I need to talk to Randi and figure out what appropriate precautions are: 

:Oh: 

Starwind doesn't look especially offended, or even surprised. 

And they are not at this moment on fire, so that's good.

Nayoki spends a minute checking that her set-command is on right, and then they leave and head to meet the King. 

Who is apparently waiting for them, in one of the meeting-rooms with Shavri at his side. "Vanyel. Fazil. What is it." He raises his eyebrows at Nayoki. 

"We came to tell you that– Oh. Right, sorry, this is Nayoki. One of Leareth's people." 

"I see." Randi's eyes narrow a little. "Van, what's going on?"

"I - we have some news, from the pharaoh, it's relevant to the investigation with Starwind and Moondance..." Helpless glance at Fazil. :Scared I'm going to instantly send his Companion into a panic spiral about gods, but...don't know we can avoid that: 

:I don't like it at all. Probably it won't be quite as long for them if Yfandes is helping?:

:I hope not. It's a terrible time for it, if it's anywhere near as disruptive for Randi as it was for Van, but - honestly any time is a bad time for the King to spend days too upset to do things. Van, I think go ahead: 

"Van?" Randi prompts. 

He takes a deep breath and then says it all fast. "We've seen that the Star-Eyed is opposed to Valdemar's interests in Golarion and will do - pretty extreme things to achieve Her goals. I think we have to treat Her as Valdemar's enemy, given that. And I just learned from the pharaoh that Abadar thinks She's likely to order Starwind and Moondance on further missions like the assassination, if She can. Including by seeking more damaging weapons from Urtho's Tower, since they can now Gate there at will. I think that could be really costly to everyone, including Valdemar, and it's - not fair to them, right, however you slice up their culpability in this versus Hers. She might literally be mind-controlling them into doing it, or - they might just feel obligated - but either way their best selves wouldn't want to be used as murder weapons. Anyway we've compulsioned them not to Gate out, since we were concerned the Star-Eyed would tell them to, and we need to discuss what to do longer-term to - prevent them from being a danger to others. Burning out their Gifts would work, so might a geas." 

"I know this is a giant mess. I'm sorry. The pharaoh is also sending a diplomatic mission to discuss his interests here." 

Well, still not on fire. "Osirion wants to make sure they're not free to commit more murders, and to offer whatever help we can with ensuring that and, uh, anything else Valdemar needs."

"I'm really sorry for just turning up and doing that before I explained. I was just very worried that the Star-Eyed would order them to run and then you wouldn't even be able to finish the investigation. And - obviously I think we should give them a fair trial, but - we need to take into account that if they'd done - that - in the Palace here, they'd have killed several hundred people."
