Inari: "One path we have explored in the past is to fan the flames of distrust and fear between factions. In exchange for information that can be used to gain advantage, we would ask for one of the currencies of the changeling kingdom, pony slaves."

Inari's tails curl around her legs.

Inari: "The changelings of course, would use this opportunity to deceive us, by sending us the young, the feeble, and the crippled, creatures poorly suited to labor. However, these creatures are also the least likely to survive in service. They will have their own knowledge about their imprisonment, information that will be essential should you choose to send others on a rescue mission. The priority, is not rescuing the police officers, who likely can stand years of labor, but the weak, who would perish otherwise."

"The situation would result in a net political gain, having weakened the unity of the changelings, while also recovering peasants of your kingdom, specifically the ones most likely to perish in slavery. Their information would then be applied to the current crisis, and allow you to make a more informed decision."
