"So be reasonably sure it's consensual or necessary, even if someone uses a power to convince you that's the case the damage is not that terrible."

"I swear until the peal finds me or I, in a location where there are no capes within a million miles, make a Space Elf whose fully informed evaluation of the situation is that this oath should be revoked, I will not read anyone's minds unless I have evidence that I expect would be satisfying to Boots that I am not under the influence of mind-affecting powers or magic and that it is consensual or necessary."

"These seem strong enough, yes. Why is Boots in specific someone you would go to about this?"

"She's kind of in charge of me? And she's really good and smart and always knows what to do. She's a therapist."

"And is she particularly good at examining evidence of mind-affecting powers?"

"Yeah, she has a bunch. Which she uses very ethically because she is a therapist."

"I see."

"She's a good person to have checking, promise."

"I believe you," she says. "In other news, we might have a new New York for you to make us tomorrow."

"Oh goody!"

"Yes. We even found a place where you can put the original Library of Alexandria."

"Awesome. You're much nicer than Brazil."

That actually makes her crack a smile. "'Nicer than Brazil' is, at least, better than not that."

"You seem to be doing really well, actually, for a world you're scared will die."

"The United States is in fact doing fairly well, comparatively speaking, and most of it is thanks to the Protectorate and the PRT."

"And now you have a demon!!"

"Who will give us our very own Library of Alexandria. I might change my name, after that."

"Why did you pick it?"

"Many people see me as the stereotypical flying brick. I'm near impossible to hurt, I'm strong enough to bend steel, I am only as affected by gravity as I let myself be. But I also have an eidetic memory and greatly boosted cognition, and those are my most dangerous powers."

"...oh."

"I have come to regard this name as a mistake, however. Letting my opponents underestimate my brains because of my brawn probably suits my interests better."

Nod. 

"Did you need anything else?"

"Nope! Thanks." ...how long ago did he tell Brazil he needed to sleep?

"I should get going, then," she says, and off she goes.

It's been between three and four hours since he told Brazil he needed to sleep.
