[Well Ikar is kneeling alright though he's not really sure what's going on. He was just fishing below minding his own business when he was taken by the Xaela and brought before Magnai. If he wasn't so intimidated by the very tall scantily clad men he saw while being brought here he'd probably have more to say right now. Alas he's silently waiting for someone to explain why he's here, sweating bullets as he waits.]
[Magnai allows for silence to fill the air, giving the situation a bit more tension before he speaks. It's not as if Ikar is a threat, or seems particularly strong. But, if they allowed this outsider to take from their turf, then so too would others follow.]
You are aware of why you were brought before me.
[It's not a question, it's a statement. Of course, Magnai's certain the thief knows his crimes well.]
[THAT. WAS NOT. AN EXPLANATION!!! For the first time since he was brought here he looked up to Magnai, confusion written plainly on all of his features with a hint of creeping panic.]
I- No I... what, why am I here? I was just tryin' to fish...
[Ikar knew very little of the Xaela and their culture. He had talked a bit with the Xaela at Reunion of course, but there was no warning about fishing below the Dawn Throne...]

What say you in your defense, outsider.
