Sunny had sat quietly and listened for some time, but now it seemed she should volunteer some information. The sooner they got off this plane, the better. She stared at the floor while she spoke, still thinking hard about what she had overheard.
"I don't know what we need to do, but from what the other gith said earlier, I think we should be able to control this power, at least enough to stop the plague." Sunny wasn't sure how much she should tell the others. "They're fighting with each other. Tonuin'li is on her own, Mericass and Jen'lig, seem to be allied against the others, and the last one, Gaath'lir, I think he's on his own, too, but it seems the others won't challenge him directly. Not yet. And he worships some queen. After he left, the others said something about an all-powerful goddess-mage. I think they were talking about the same queen. Right now, I'm more worried about her, and about the giths' plotting, than I am about the well." She paused, then continued, "I think we can trust Toniun'li. If I'm right about this, then I think she'll need us."
She finally looked up, trying to gauge her companions' reactions.
"As for the well, we should be able to control it. Between us, we have more knowledge and capability with magic than the giths, unless they have some kind of incredible secret powers. And if that was the case, I doubt they would tolerate their companions, let alone our presence here."
There really wasn't anything else to say, so she just leaned back against the wall and waited for a response.
