I don't know. [The words are snapped, anxious, just a little harsh. He's trying not to just come out and say it.] This place is strange. It does strange things to us. Very strange things. [Turns people into Strangers...]

I'm- what? [He looks down.] I'm contracted to a man who's a Victorian dandy. He prefers I wear nice things. It's just easier not to argue. [He's learned to be selectively stubborn, at least, which might count as character growth if it weren't for the fact that often translated into a sort of helpless acceptance of much worse circumstances.]

It's fine. I'm fine. Martin and Agnes are safe, by the by, but don't talk to Elias. Or at least don't listen to anything he says to you. He knew the Corruption was going to attack, let it get in without warning us to see how we'd react.

[To see how Jon would react.]
