I -- yes, sir. Do you intend to keep him prisoner until the time comes, then? We don't know how long it will take for the mana cannon to be prepared, and it may be dangerous keeping him contained for a long period of time.

[Especially if Yggdrasill discovers they have him.]

If that's your plan, it would be wise to move him to more secure quarters.
