[Xie Lian isn't even sure that whatever he's doing is going to work, but you know, you can't know until you try. So he holds his crystal in one hand and the braid from Anurr's head in the other.]

Hello? I don't know if you can hear me, but you can't actually go and do that, you know? You can't just go and take over people to speak as if you have no mouth of your own, and I know you do, I've spoken with you before. And you can't just ask for people to be given to you. They may have been dead for a long time, but they're still people. You can't just go and decide you want them and take them without asking them what they want.

[Think of his tone as 'Kindergarten teacher scolding a two-year-old who pilfered a cookie from a classmate'.]
