She shifted so she was looking straight at him with her orange eyes.
"I could tell you the raw details about secret agents in wars, how they'd often work for one side then have to switch all their allegiances and ties from one side - one country, one language - to another, and how it changed them, how they never felt safe or connected in a hostile world. But I'm not going to, because I think you know all that already."
She paused, and he looked at her waiting to see what she'd come up with next, trying to talk to a freshly Fallen angel.
"I do, however, object to some of the other things you just said. I've just come out here looking for you - even though Adam asked me, I still had to agree - and you think you can sit here and tell me that you're completely on your own and no one will come when you need help?"
She shook her head.
"You're not on your own, else I wouldn't be sitting right next to you. I can't make you trust me, but I - and others, back at the Manor - can look after you and help you. Hell, it's one of the reasons we're all there, when you come down to it."

She stopped, and held her hand out to him.
"Come back with me?"
