Nodnod. "Thanks."

"I am not sad no death, no die, no victim. I am confused and scared." 

Sympathetic nod. "Why scared?"

"I no understand why. If I understand why, I can predict. Predict is say what will be, because understand."

"Ah." She nods again.

"What kobold scared of? What scares you?"

She shrugs. "Word, dog is type?"

"A dog is a type of animal."

Nod. "Big animals, eat kobolds - magic helps. Big fire. Bad magic." She shrugs again.

"Animals no eat humans now. Humans kill humans."

"Humans scare me. Sorry kobold."

"Mm."

She considers for a moment, then stands and disappears. After another couple seconds, she's back, carrying a largeish flat pebble.

"Magic," she says, and holds it so he can see her squeeze it - when she does, she teleports a few feet away, to a clearer part of the room. She sits back down at the table and slides it over to him.

"...Thank you. Kobold no need this magic?"

"No need. Easy magic."

"Kobold need magic for animals at home?"

She looks confused, and takes a second to think. "If I have food and I eat, then I no have food. If I have magic and I give magic, then I yes have magic."

"If you share magic, you have magic and I have magic. Can you teach magic? Kobold understand the word 'teach'?"

"I understand teach. I can teach, but, bad, I no teach."

"Why teach magic bad? Share magic is good, teach is bad?" 

Nod. "If I teach you magic, you maybe dead."

"If I do not eat, I become hungry. If I die, I become dead. If a person kills me, I become dead."

Nod. "If I teach you magic, you maybe die. I no teach."

"Okay. No teach. What kobold want to do?"

Shrug. "...sleep, soon?"
