[ Tim likes very precise language when it comes to anything magical or tricksy, because there’s a sense that they are always trying to get one over on the uninitiated.
What he doesn’t like is an uncertainty due to magical translation, and he’s not sure if what he interprets as logic gaps in her language are the result of that or slips of the tongue.
So Tim asks his other question first, while he debates the difference between will not and cannot and why guidance is needed on a completely set path. ]
You’ve done this before on other worlds, haven’t you? Created avatars to do the work for you. Some of them even know about it.
[ He’s thinking of Poison Ivy, but why limit it there? Ivy has plant-based powers, but Tim doesn’t. And his powers are more certainly from the Green than hers are. ]
And we’re as replaceable to you as the roots, twigs and flowers are to us. Even if you think we’re best suited to help you - if you understood us or valued us, you’d ask us to volunteer.
