"Do you not, like, find it satisfying to hurt really evil people."

(She feels like a hug would be a bit much, given the conversation, but she leans against Hagan a little.)

Permalink

"Lots of them actually are still doing it? Apart from being paused right now."

Permalink

"I can probably content myself with stabbing the ones who are still doing it."

Permalink

"Or Imrainai could just - tell them to stop."

Permalink

"Man, you just - do not get this, do you. Imagine how you would feel if someone murdered your family."

Permalink

"...pretty worried about them?"

" - I don't actually want to hurt anyone. I - am not sure what the limitations of my powers are or whether I can get them to stop without any violence being involved, but - I don't really want to hurt anyone."

Permalink

"That's really admirable. But if they do get hurt, it'll be because of their own choices to do great evil."

" - I think that kind of depends on how it happens."

" - okay, I think I see where you're coming from here."

Permalink

"Well, then, thank you for serving this important function."

Permalink

"I'm feeling vaguely like we should set up a queue, or something. For problems in need of solving. And I'm not sure whether - do you want to try to free your people before you have a baby, or - "

...she looks uncertainly at Fëanáro again.

" - for a Quendi it wouldn't be good to try to do both at the same time."

Permalink

"I guess it might be bad to have to stop in the middle. And I'm not sure how long it'll take. There are hundreds of worlds to fix, I think - "

Permalink

" - that sounds like it might be an 'after Asmodeus is dead' sort of problem."

Permalink

"Sounds like one to me."

Permalink

"I don't really know what that means."
