Do you think his captives will last that long? [Syrlya won't say it, but they both saw just how far he destroyed Sans in four days. They don't have the time.
He won't waste that kind of time again. He sucks in a deep breath to steady himself, because yelling at Strange isn't going to get a plan going any faster.] He's holding them out for a bribe in the first place--[Wait, that's right. They're captives, not dead. Prisoners to give the Prince and edge of them to surrender. They have something he wants, he has something they want.]
We have our Warden. He'll assume we want the Warden's name back, won't he? What if we don't specify? Let him choose any name he wants if he wins, but in return we are allowed to choose the name we want back.
[If it works... they look like they're bargaining far more short-sighted than they really are.]
