Uh, hey, Calum.

I know this isn't exactly the best time, but... I'd kind of like to talk to you, if I can. Y'know, like last time? No threats to your safety unless you threaten mine - that sort of thing. I've just... got some questions.

The reason why betrayal cuts so deep is because one never expects it. Promises and being warned aforetime mean nothing in the end. However... [seems to be thinking about this]

Some of you keep saying you want to help, to separate the two of us. That is beyond your power and beyond my willingness. And without the latter, nothing will come of it anyway. Perhaps, if those years hadn't passed in Narnia, I may have been more willing. But the boy's connection to Lilith has given him something that another body could not possibly give.

[ long-suffering sigh ] Yeah. Yeah, I know. I just... I dunno.

I'm not saying I wouldn't betray you. Hell, if it gets to the point where I have no choice, or I have good reason to do so, I will betray you. I'm just saying that I don't have reason now and that I don't expect to anytime soon.

I'm... really sorry to hear that. But even if that's true, it doesn't mean I can't try to help somehow.

Aye... that's interesting, to say the least.

We'll meet again soon, Miss Ray. Perhaps I can answer your questions better then.
