[SIGH. But okay, initial annoyance out of the way, there are a few ways to handle this conversation, and there are a few questions he has even if he has no intention of helping.]

How would this agreement work? You'll send everyone home if one person kills Hope?

[That sounds... Generous, aside from the murder part. Too generous. Also--]

And you've figured out how to send us home in the first place?

We will send home those who cooperate with us.

The Door will be simple to operate.

[Okay well no surprise on the first part. The wording of the second, however, is suspicious.]

You know where it is and how to use it?

[He's not sure he believes that, but he has a more important thing to ask next that he doesn't necessarily want everyone seeing.]

Do you know if it's possible to control where and when someone is sent back to?

[Since they're speaking in future tense about figuring out how to work it he doubts they do, but he still has to ask.]

[That's not a yes, and with what Sorrow said Lance is really not sure if it's possible, but then again Sorrow had also said he just wasn't aware of a way to do it. Maybe the Null could find one--or, better yet, one of the inhabitants of the city--though, considering they have more incentive.

And although Lance is not at all interested in trying to kill Hope, it might be in his best interests to pretend otherwise; it's a risk if he's found out, but then again what exactly does he have to lose?]

If does turn out to be possible, I'm interested in your offer.
