Aisilian would be quite glad to know that he is improving! Alas, his wards are up, even if Mysterious Rebel were so inclined to telepath at him.
... He hopes she's so inclined. Talking about this out loud in this bug-riddled place would be incredibly stupid.
He leads her out of the office, up to the second floor kitchen, into the kitchen, and then - opens a cabinet. A single pan, placed messily atop a stack of dishes - no amount of totalitarian control can entirely erode human laziness, it seems - threatens to bean him atop the head, but he manages to stop it falling.
And while the cabinet door is open, no cameras fall on them.
Taking a deep breath, he waves her behind the door, and - opens his wards, just a crack. The smile is gone, replaced by a sort of tired determination.
We don't have much time, though I'm sure you've guessed. I can give you the codes you need to get out of here. All I want in return is to go with you.
