Yes. By law it's mine for certain if I go back, arguably mine for as long as it's feasible for me to command it. 

...huh.

I don't think I can help with that, kobolds do things too differently.

If I had merely been missing for that long it'd make perfect sense, thirty years is not long compared to how long I knew those people. But since I've been tampered with I shouldn't be in charge of anyone until I'm well enough.

Nod.

How long do Eldar live? Because it sounds like you live a lot longer than we do.

I'm not sure what you mean. 

You're unaging, then probably; I don't have a very good idea of how that works but elves and goblins are too. Kobolds live about a hundred and fifty years if nothing else kills us along the way, and we get progressively weaker and less able to heal for the last fifty years or so of that.

That sounds unpleasant, I'm sorry. Yeah, if nothing kills us we don't die.

Nod. It seems unlikely to come up for me, anyway. But it probably changes how we think about time, thirty years is almost my entire life so far.

I've lived around two thousand, I think.

Yeah, that'd definitely change things. D'you think they're going to have trouble with the idea that I'm so temporary?

They probably would if they believed you. I can't afford to take a century to recover anyway, not with a war on.

Blink. Are you expecting them not to believe me because they'll be suspicious of me, or for some other reason?

Because you working for the Enemy makes more sense than you being from another world and conveniently stumbling upon and rescuing me.

Nod. Okay.

Assume for the moment I'm not; if they decide I am and want me to let them bring you there, what do you want me to do?

I can't go home, if you're the Enemy that'd be some kind of elaborate trick to get information from me or make it easier to impersonate me.

Nod. All right. Hopefully it won't come to that; I expect it'll hurt them very badly if it does.

My brothers are very capable people. I think they'll be fine.

Okay.

They want the same things as me and have more information. I trust them.

All right. I mean, I know I'm not, that's the information I have to work from, I just don't want to find myself in the middle of a situation like that and not knowing what I should do. If I was I don't think your answer to that question would matter.

You might pretend to respect my wishes if I'm needed to cooperate in this scenario for some reason.

Shrug. I suppose.

I'm kind of thinking that there's not much point to talking about whether I am or not - I'm not going to try to convince you, that'd obviously be pointless at best.

Does it bother you when I assert that you probably are?

Mostly just that there doesn't seem to be a good way to respond to it. It's not an unreasonable thing for you to worry about.

I'm not expecting a response from you. Just explaining the constraints on me going home.
