[Anyone who's familiar with Crane will recognize his compulsive need to study fear. But what's the curious thing, here? His approach. His voice is as soft and calm as it had been upon his arrival. It gives an impression of frailty that's deliberately misleading. There was nothing about him that sounded like the Scarecrow. And that's the frightening thing.]
Machiavelli once said, "And here comes in the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both; but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved."
I put his question to you all; is it better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved?
[He likes the idea of letting the piddling powers in this place believe he's behaving himself; listening to that silly therapist he'd encountered recently. Maybe his audience all be dishonest in their answers. Frightened. Scared. He indulges in a smile. He will have to confirm all of their opinions with an experiment, of course.]

And so his response isn't immediate. He searches back through the network and stops at a conversation he'd had with a young girl called Pearl Fey.]
Ah, Pearl Fey? Is that her name? For if so, I believe she was here one time. The two of us had an enlightening conversation. I kept her calm during her troubles. Kept her warm in the rain, so to speak.
[Do you see that fire pun, Miles? Do you?]
no subject
So Maya falls for it, no suspicion, just a focus on the one thing she has in her world.]
Pearly-- she was here? That means-- that means she could come back!
[the hope he wanted to hear rings in her voice.]
You-- you really helped her?
[There she draws suspicion, but no one could really be mean to Pearl, could they?]
Th-thank you. For that.
no subject
[It's a hurricane of fire puns. Sadly, none of them are for Maya's benefit. And what's better about helping someone than making them dependant and respectful? In this case it won't last. But it's all about how it makes him feel good.]
no subject
[She's cut off by a muffled but fervent knock on her door.]
Sorry, I'll-- I'll be right back. Somebody's-- yeah.
[But there's not much more of a warning before she stops responding.... for now, anyway.]
