Your 'bodies' ... [ You can't tell a human 'we get kidnapped for our bodies' and not have that human immediately assume 'sex trafficking'. If that's true, it's pretty deplorable -- even a person like Rohan, who rarely concerns himself about the well-being of others, can acknowledge that. Still, he does have a feeling it's nothing quite like that, even if being under constant threat of a kidnapping is still quite awful.

He actually looks up from his sketchbook now. While he knows that's terrible, he's a bit incapable of saying anything comforting or sympathetic. It just doesn't come naturally to him. ]

I have to ask, otherwise I'm going to assume the worst, but what are you? You're all named after precious stones. I'm getting the impression that that's actually what you're made of.
