"An interesting ambition, and I assume not one everyone here would have to run into. That makes me wonder what the other versions of you are like, though I do have a feeling you are the best one," It was a little shameless flattery, but he figured it was harmless enough.

She just had to hang on until they reached the town they were going to, right...?
