[It could be a joke, but it isn't. He'd said that they wouldn't hurt her and he stands by it, but...] I did note that you tend to be nice to - well. Everyone. You put up with me, after all. But I am asking you to be kind to ones who might not be kind to others. You should know. It is a favour. My kind takes those very seriously.

[ She's taking the kind of tone that should really be accompanied by a slap on the wrist. ALAS, DISTANCE. ]
But I'll do it if it comes to that, I promise. Even if I still don't think it counts as even a little favour.
