"I've started to like Keltham, and I genuinely do want to - keep him out of trouble - in a way that I've never wanted to keep anyone else out of trouble before. If the whole trope thing, works like that, I might come to love him, which is something that I - might want to have, I think, if it's possible to me."
"I want nobody else to ever grow up the way I did, being forced to cast Acid Splash on children so I'd end up damned to Hell. Helping Keltham, outside of Cheliax, seems like it might help with that."
"But if my trying to follow Keltham right now, results in my not getting to do that, and then being horribly tortured over the next several days until my curse kicks in and kills me, then I'd rather go with you to your library, yes."
