I do. [Surprisingly honest, yet again. But she also promptly makes her stance clear.]
Right now, I do not wish to talk about that person. I will not be offering an explanation at this time. It may come up later, but do not ask anything else about him until I decide if the timing is acceptable.
[She's holding her magic cube that has the skull boxed in, gripping its sides tightly as Henry questions her.]
Because Mr. Creel, when it comes to that person, he puts me in a bad mood.
[It's never as simple as that but she's not lying. She hardly does but Amelia does withhold and shorten her narratives for her own sake.]
I suppose depending on how long my whole endeavor to help you takes and based on what I'll be doing to achieve that, he may show up sooner or later. Ask your questions then. Not now.
[Almost funny how quickly the skull has become a non-issue. But then again, was it really ever, between the two of them? The "task" at hand was dealt with quickly and swiftly. No, now Henry is all too invested in the story behind just how this thing ended up on Earth.
Still, there is something about the bluntness of her honesty that Henry can bring himself to appreciate: talking about him puts her in a bad mood. Fine.]
Fine. Not now. But I don't want to wait until the last minute, when this stranger comes knocking at our proverbial door, to learn about him.
No, I want to know sometime before that. But I'll give you time to let this process, if that's what you need.

[yeah, she's not budging.]

And why not? Does talking about it now put us in some kind of danger, or are your associations just that bad?

Here's what you need to know if you're so curious. It's all you need to know. Everything that you and I are doing?
He probably just finds it all very, very, funny. We are free entertainment. And the less you think about it, the less we can continue unhindered.
[And without another word Amelia leaves.]
