Somehow, somewhere in the ship, Drolic, Eaayta and Reghen had found a room with a working intercom. Drolic promptly directed Reghen to begin calling names in the hope that some of their guests remained in the party chamber and would actually respond. Eaayta made her way back to the top of the stairs, once the location of the interrogation chamber had been established, intending to lead willing participants to the correct room.
Every so often, if there were no volunteers to be had, Drolic would pace the halls looking for someone to question. He had no problem dragging the unwilling in for a bit of Q&A.
No matter how one got here, once they did Drolic took a seat behind a high metal table and turned reptilian eyes on the person or people in front of him. They might have been standing or sitting or pacing themselves, but the green alien was outwardly calm.
Reghen began the session with a, "Welcome, thanks for coming," which was likely either politely appropriate or condescending and slightly amusing.

And the former faerie merely nodded, eyes downcast. She had no self-esteem; which was probably a bad thing.
And she sat.
"What do you need to ask me?" The tone was oddly polite and self-deprecating.

Drolic leaned forward, eyes narrowed. This one would break easily. They would have to be gentler with her. Not that his pale translator was anything but gentle. Gentle and weak. He nodded at Reghen, mild contempt wrinkling his features.
"We just need to ask if you've come into contact with any shapeshifters. Blonde ones, specifically, but I suppose they needn't all be blonde since they can... change their shape." Reghen was beginning to grow weary of questioning people. It was obvious, to him at least, that this timid woman didn't know what Drolic wanted her to.

"I know a shapeshifter and a blond girl," Baelia replied, the weak tone leaving her voice. It wasn't all that noticeable, though, giving as she was still quite quiet. "However, the shapeshifter I've known doesn't know that she is one, and the blond girl is at this very party. I don't suppose she's who you're looking for."

Reghen held his breath for a moment as the woman answered. She knew a shapeshifter? Drolic would be very interested in that. He began to translate, but the bounty hunter waved him into silence. He had understood. He inclined his head, indicating that Reghen should continue.
"Can you describe the blond girl in more detail?" Reghen knew certain people had been invited, but others had just wandered in. He wanted to make sure she was talking about the person he already knew of.

"Tan skin, freckles, blue eyes. She was followed by a moose and had a hedgehog on her head. If I'm correct, she shys away from violence, and is a sweet girl."
Baelia answered orders well, generally. She'd been a faerie of battle once, it kept you in time with questions and orders.

"Yes." Reghen relaxed. They knew all about her. Odd girl. "If that's all..." He looked to Drolic for confirmation. If this woman knew nothing more about shapeshifting Gaians, she would be free to go back downstairs and mingle.

"I'll be around," Baelia nodded, getting up but not quite making a move to go. If they needed anything else, she'd look like a fool leaving early.
