[Sorry, Tony. Barabas can't help but laugh at that.] Sorry. That's... quite a role reversal. I'm usually the one making that argument.

[Okay. Composed now.]

But that's not what I meant. Not everyone with powers is dangerous, of course. But a witch who alters existing abilities and thrusts new powers on her abductees whether they want them or not, arguably more of a problem.

[Interesting though. Barabas nods, a tentative agreement.] I agree, we need to wait for opportunity to arise -- and try to create those opportunities if we can. But even in this situation, there's some room for diplomacy. If she is that powerful, we don't want her deciding to dispose of all of us and start over, if we become more trouble than we're worth.

[God this reminds him of back home, he's suddenly in need of more coffee. And a nap.]
