The Conversations

"You've got to be joking with me." 

"I am not." 

"You're using me as a herald?" 

"More like a quick messenger. Hopefully, they'll take the messages better from you than from me." 

"But what about her?" 

"I'm sending her away back to Portal." 

"What?"

"What!?" 

"Rory has been begging me to send him some help and you are the best that I know of to help him." 

"Why not Lydia?" 

"She's not my slave anymore, or didn't you understand that after that night in the basement warehouse?"

"But-"

"No buts. I chose you two for a reason for these jobs." 

"Yeah… because we're here."
