If a truce was reached before, could it not be reached again? You bring up the idea of negotiations with the Big One to maybe reach some kind of truce.
The Princess' face twists a bit as you bring this up and her face flushes. She then scowls at you for a moment and turns to begin talking to the other guards. The translator informs you that the Princess was trying to do just that when she was captured earlier. She too had hopes of a peaceful resolution, but now sees that the Big One will not stop until all people in the tunnels are dead. She is embarrassed because she did not believe this, despite the counsel of so many. That is how she became injured, trying to escape from the lizards.
The translator remains with you, but the Princess moves off to a different place, and you find yourself waiting.
