Gods. Deities. I want to make a trade. An important one.

If it works I might even decide to pray to you.

Hey.

[ Does Olivia sense a child in possible danger? Of course she does! ]

[ video ]

[thepointyend]

Are you a deity?

[ video ]

[entangles]

No, but my name-- my name is Emily, and I just wanted to talk to you. Would that be okay?

[ video ]

[thepointyend]

Why do you want to talk to me?

[ video ]

[entangles]

I wanted to make sure you're okay.

[ She hesitates, then smiles - a small reassurance that Olivia means no harm. ]

I may be new here, but I know that making deals with powerful people can be dangerous.

[Arya looks no less wary.]

If it's dangerous I won't trade them anything. [A lie, but she doesn't need to know that.]

When someone says they'll give you something, but only if you give them something in return- then there's a good chance they're not telling the truth.

[ People lie, people take advantage of people? How do you convey that to a child without conveying it at all? (Obviously she knows very little about Arya.

She leans into the camera. ]

What they want is probably worth too much to give.

[thepointyend]

Then I'll make sure they give me what I want first.

[Arya looks intently at the camera, frown firmly in place.]

It won't be too much.

[ video ]

[entangles]

Are you sure?

[ video ]

[thepointyend]

I'm not little. I know what I'm doing.

[ video ]

[entangles]

I know. I would have said the same thing at your age.

But listen to me-- as a friend, not as an adult. Don't trade with them, it isn't safe.

[ video ]

[thepointyend]

I don't know you. How could I listen as a friend?

[ video ]

[entangles]

Would you like to be friends?

[ Good girl. You know how to be wary. ]

I work for the FBI. You can trust me.

[ video ]

[thepointyend]

When I know you more. Maybe.

What's the FBI?
