"Nobody sent me. There are few creatures in the entire cosmos who could force me to do their bidding if I did not choose to."
"As I said. You came to my attention and I was curious. I still am. You're a man who cheated death. I suppose I should be more offended, but mostly I'm intrigued. It is not something often accomplished."
