"The sage has been...overly selective...when it comes to explanations, but if we can ask the right questions, he may help. Some of the others might know more as well. The Calamity has given us a means of communicating, and that means we can negotiate. The Avatars would not be here if the Calamity did not wish to hear what we have to say."
