Sounds to me like it wouldn't matter if that Eraser can see us or not if the Story Eater is already keeping us under proverbial thumb. Or however you want to put it.

[So they're up against something that right now it doesn't seem they have much of an advantage on. In fact, it seems like it's almost the opposite. The Story Eater probably has the advantage and they're the ones at something akin to mercy.]

But that witch you're talking about—is she actually here? Or is she from that other world you mentioned before? If the former, is she inclined to help us if we've got something to appeal to her?

[If she's not, then he supposes the question is moot.]
