The pureblood could tell that the woman wasn't so certain of her own resistance given the way the conversation was heading. The sinews of her thought process unwinded as the guilt trip worked its magic, Cyu would only have a little leeway to manipulate the woman and so she had to ensure that she got as much information in as few questions as possible, ideally just the one.
"Working her, I'm close." she sent back to Celeste.
With perhaps a small exaggerated sniff the Sith gently pleaded to complete the act and break her will. Cyu considered using force to assist but decided against it, as she was so close, and messing up was not an option here. Quietly and with a slightly broken voice the woman inquired more about who it was they sought.
"I'm looking for a Kel'dor, a little taller than I and you wouldn't miss the big mask on his face. Have you seen anyone like him around?" Cyu's acting skills were crucial and she was playing the part just well enough for this mark. The woman's face straightened and paused as if to consider her words carefully, realizing that she wasn't after a guest of hers.
"One, but not in some time. Never here but occasionally I'd hear from others about someone like that passing through town coming in from the capital based on the prison speeder. I'm sorry but I've never actually seen him firsthand so I don't know more." Cyu's face beamed at the morsel of information and nodded her head. "Oh no that's so kind of you, I guess I've been looking in the wrong place. Thank you."
The woman shrugged her shoulders again as the pureblood seemed to regain composure. "You're welcome I guess love, now do you want the room or not cause I have chores to do." Cyu broke a smile through her fake tears and spoke softly. "I'll have to check in with my friends first but I like it." The lady pointed back the way they came, and as they were leaving Cyu forwarded some information back to Celeste again.
"She didn't know much, but she had third-hand information that he passed through the village in a prison speeder once from the capital. There can't be many of those around and with Caer's book it should be easy to exclude the wrong places."
Shortly afterward she'd rejoin the pair of Sith and take her seat, hopefully enjoying a nice hot meal before they decided if they were staying or leaving immediately. A prison, either in use or inactive would have medical facilities and subjects to use as he saw fit for experiments. They weren't super likely to be in the city either, but perhaps on the outskirts.
