Archer watched the prisoner's face turn white, which made him laugh. Now they were under light; he reminded him of a younger version of Albert, which took him by surprise. He shook his head and asked the man, ''What are you in here for, human?''
''I was stealing stuff to help my family; the cost of living hit my town hard,'' the prisoner answered. ''A stupid mistake, but I will be out in a few weeks.''
After a moment's thought, he raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his voice. ''I can offer you a job, but you and your family must relocate to my country.''
Demacia looked puzzled but stayed silent as the prisoner nodded eagerly, almost like an overexcited child. Archer continued, ''I'll return for you when the time is right. Let your family know and be ready.''
