"Great, then there's no need for the formal prince stuff!"
He does his best to remember their designations, as long as they are. He's sure to get a couple of letters or numbers mixed up here or there, but he remembers the first five or six reasonably well. "Well it's nice to finally be able to put names to concealed faces! Mind if I call you Siri and Artie? You can call me Zag, if it'll make you feel better."
Yes, they're still imposing, and it's still unnerving being in the same room with them. And he's doing much like he'd do at home, with his overbearing Father towering over him and glaring down at him in disapproval - getting progressively more cheeky as he's refused the information he believes he deserves. At least he's not thought about an escape attempt yet.
"Us, uncooperative? That doesn't sound much like us. We've done a lot working together and helping out on the various worlds we've visited. And as for contacting outside parties, it's not for lack of trying, Artie mate. I did ask Voidy if we could have a long-range, Void-safe radio transmitter the other month to speak with other Voidcraft. Apparently Voidy just hasn't gotten around to adding it yet, or hasn't received enough materials for it, wherever it gets its materials from." Zagreus shrugs his shoulders matter-of-factly, as the whims of the Void Train have never been up to him, nor any of its passengers.
"Personally, I would be happy to help you out. But again, it would be easier to comply with the Void's rules and regulations if we knew what any of those rules were. A treatise on Interdimensional Law and Void Regulations would really make that easier to do, if you'd be so kind as to provide a copy or several to take with us...? At least let me know what rules we've supposedly broken, if you don't happen to have a printer handy. Although... we do have a printer on Voidy, so if you could send the copy over the SCA, I could see if Voidy would print it out for us! Surely you've got a copy somewhere, Siri mate? Or Artie here?"
There's a pause as he examines them again, sees if anything he's said has made any change in their demeanor. Even the slightest hint of a human-like reaction would make them seem a little less creepy as they loom over him.
"Let me make it up to you two, since you're so worried about us not cooperating. I can start from when I appeared on the platform, and let you know what we've been up to. Or at least, what I've been up to. You know, since this an interview, and definitely not an interrogation."
So I made an oops and he doesn't have Stygius with him, my bad
