"Yes, they still should not do that. But there was probably a reason it happened and I do not think it was so we could both die for no reason."

"Lots of people die for no immediately apparent reason, Maitimo."

"I don't think that's true."

She is going to pointedly not think about the holocaust for more than a second because she already did think about it for one second. She's gonna think about pink elephants. 

"Well, I think it is."

"Well where I'm from it doesn't."

"Unfortunately, our central problem is that we're not where you're from."

"I can die if I want to."

"I - don't really think that helps much but I guess it puts a floor on how bad things can get." 

This poor poor kid.

"And then Mandos will call me and heal me and send me home and it will probably be scary but I will be fine."

"Can Mandos find you here?"

"I don't know."

"I.... think we should both try not to die. Unless we would still want to if we weren't going to come back."

"Why would anyone want to die if they weren't going to come back."

"I mean - " Wobbly hand gesture. "There're things that're worth the trade. Like - I dunno, if someone's gonna turn you into a vampire. Better to kill yourself then than be made to kill other people. - this isn't something I would normally talk to a little kid about but this is an extreme circumstance and you are a mindreader so it's kind of unavoidable."

"What's a vampire?"

"People who've been killed and turned into monsters who eat people and do mean things."

"Okay.

Why do you work at Wolfram and Hart if they work for Satan?"

"It's - complicated."

"I really don't think you should."

"I kinda don't think I should either. There just... aren't a lot of better options. We could run now, but it wouldn't get you home. Wouldn't stop them."

"But if we figured out how to get me back you could come with me. And take Connor and Zana and my father could build her a spaceship. And not work at Wolfram and Hart anymore."

"Yeah. Yeah, we maybe could. But only if we can get the info we need from the science team."

"Well. I can listen. And if they don't think about it at work, we can follow them home. And ask them."

"I think maybe we spin up an excuse for me to talk to them about it at work. It'll be suspicious, but it'll be a lot less suspicious than following them home and asking. And not everyone who works there is... nice."

"Orcs aren't nice mostly although I have never met one."
