"If that's the vision you expect to convince my classmates - and let's be clear, I find myself not even slightly tempted to turn my back on Lord Nethys for it - then you'd better start thinking of how to inspire everyone with it before Keltham explodes their minds."
"My sense is that Lord Nethys looks favorably on this project with Asmodeus, but I am not certain of His plans. If at some point it looks like failure is inevitable I will begin considering the prospect that Nethys means me to stay with Keltham after this blows up. I'll continue to try to shut down Keltham when I think he's about to explode people, unless countermanded by you. But not if it gets to the point where I think I'm making myself look bad to him and hindering a plan by Lord Nethys to have me accompany Keltham elsewhere."
"What happened in class today was Lord Nethys pulling your asses out of the lava. If I hadn't been there, or Nethys hadn't oracled me, everybody in there would have sat in place frozen in shock at the heresy and too worried about appearances to Keltham to say anything, while Keltham kept talking, until somebody broke and had to be Dominated. I can't fix this, I can only slow it down and give you time."
"I've said my piece, and if you've nothing more of me, I am happy to go. I can copy Invisibility off a Security."
