PANEL ONE:
Erlak's champion follows Trevalien through the inn.
CHAMPION: I'm still not so sure this is a good idea.
PANEL TWO:
Closer side view on Trevalien and the champion.
CHAMPION: The boy's already been captured and almost murdered by a demonic being, separated from his family; he's probably already fearful and miserable.
PANEL THREE:
They stop in front of a door; Trevalien's hand is on the doorknob.
CHAMPION: ...And now we want to change his circumstnaces again, take him away from the only stability he's known since his kidnapping? How is he going to take that? Hasn't he been traumatized enough?
PANEL FOUR:
They enter the room. Maiz, a young boy, is kneeling on the floor playing with some objects in front of him.
TREVALIEN: Maiz, this is the man I told you about. You'll be going with him now.
MAIZ: Cool!
PANEL FIVE:
Close on the three of them.
TREVALIEN: I think he'll be fine.
