I met her a couple of weeks ago while I was at the Station looking for something and she told me a little about it. [He's just not going to go into how much is a little. That's not important. What's important is making sure Emil's not a murderer just a normal dude who happens to be a few years ahead. He's busy watching the display on camera, grinning slightly when Topo seems to just be perfectly fine in Emil's presence.]

I think as long as he doesn't attack first people probably won't have a problem with him. He looks friendly enough. [But looks can be deceiving, and Hiro's a cat person anyway.] So you have to fight them to make a pact in the first place? Why not just make the pact without the extra step?

...okay. What's a Kelpie? [And what do you mean by harsh, Emil.]
