Oah, no. [The denial is immediate. She daren't even contemplate what he's implying. Her teachers are a breed apart from all others. That they are her teachers at all is cause for gratitude beyond anything her fear or resentment might overcome.] Not Dr. Stein - Dr. Stein is the greatest explorer alive. She chose me because I was worthy of it and she gives me exactly what I'm worthy of.
[There is still fear, of course. Worth needs proving. But it means that all she gets, she earns. Even if by tricks, always by tricks. As long as tricks are enough.
That is the greatest fear. It's what prompted her to talk to Kid. She isn't able to explain it yet, not properly; she listens instead, though now he's starting to talk about mad things, ones she's far from sure she understands. Unfortunately, when she does find a frame of reference in her own knowledge for this talk about Death that looks like a man, it's one that makes her blink in confusion and then in wry doubt that runs into her tone.]
Are you - do you mean you are - like the incarnate son of God? The son of Death who came to Earth to, to be with us and guide us?
