Malcolm [who obviously lost initiative, or didn't even get to roll] stops what e was about to da and just spits out a reply, this time without stuttering. His voice is clear and firm.
"He only intended distraction so we could leave, no harm to anyone. Let us go, and we will not come back. Nor will we tell anyone where you are."
"It seems that Ben's choice has been made. And he must endure the consequences of his choice."
"If you keep us here then you will always have to guard us, and that takes resources. Your other choice is to murder us, and I do not believe you want to have your people know you are capable of murdering children in cold blood."
"If you prove to them that you can be merciful, they will follow you a lot further than they will if they think they might be safer without you. terror only goes so far."
If James were not suffering so much and in abject terror, he might wonder at the complete lack of stutter, perhaps maybe worry a little.
As Malcolm is talking he is sending out a tendril of telekinetic force, with his clairvoyant eye on the endm reaching out as far as he possibly can, trying to back-track their routem hoping to find the others.
[OoC note Rm Telekinesis is Range category A so range 8 areas; Gd Clairvoyance is range category E = 2500 miles.. Malcolm just doesn't know he can look that far]
