You realize then that the only way to actually get this information is to either get people to talk or actively lift it from their brains. I don't think they're great options, but they're options. ...and anyway, I can still do a little bit of work from here. I'm not totally grounded. Just mostly grounded. It all comes back down to who you trust with this kind of thing.
You're making fun of me, aren't you. I am the most calm you've ever seen and you can't prove otherwise. And just because things are going this way now doesn't mean they're going to be forever...isn't that the point of the world? Things change.
And it probably doesn't matter. I doubt I'm getting a tattoo anytime soon. Or letting somebody cut me. But I'll keep that in mind if anything changes.
What status and connections? You mean being an Unseelie shardbearer and who happens to be close to a couple of the prominent figures on the Unseelie side? I guess MAYBE that makes me a target if you really think about it. I'm still saying that they seem to be going after higher beings first. Gods and stuff. I'm not a god, remember?
Way to totally ignore my last sentence, dude. But I'll take it as "you're right, Hiro, thank you for being my friend and looking out for my well-being even while you're busy dodging metaphorical trolleys."
It's more of a security issue than anything personal.
Of course. That's why you use agents to gather this information for you instead of going in person yourself. Aside from which, they will hopefully have experience in getting that information out of these people.
Everything changes. It could be instantaneous or it could take eons. Sadly, I feel that our time is running short, so we will need to expedite change very carefully.
Consider yourself lucky to not be one, Hiro. It's a high price to pay to become a god, especially nowadays. However, those connections you have, if deep enough, can most certainly make you a target. This isn't to say that you should cut them. It's simply that you should be aware that there may already be a target painted on your back. The most damage you can do to a person is by destroying the people they most care about.

Just don't be afraid of the change that comes no matter how much time we have left.
And no matter what? I'm not going to let me or my friends get damaged.
[And that includes Joshua, and he's not clarifying because he knows Joshua will know. That's all, dude. Keep those things in mind.]

Perhaps you will become wise.
[It's one of his top five Most Ambiguous Responses. Is it condescending or actually genuine? That's up to Hiro to decide.]
