"I'll do my best." Soldat sounds a little grim. All Brooklyn is gone, again. "Possibly hearing we've tried before will help. Possibly not, though. We didn't know as much of the spirit language then. Daylight didn't."

Glancing back at the church, as if Merwen were inside (she is not), they finish, "But we'll keep her safe." They know the green-eyes have their own way of stopping them in particular... but maybe they won't use it. They don't, always. Maybe they'll respect their desire to talk. (Wishful thinking, pal. I know. Didn't used to even be able to do that.)
