[When people want to hang out in his temple, Hope lets them. Though he generally does not interact with them unless asked to, he doesn't mind the company. At least his temple can be a comfort to someone.

So he doesn't appear, or even really notice her, until Kate speaks. Then he's there, as if he'd been there the whole time.]

I want us to be safe. I want to be able to send you home, and restore our hosts, and begin to restore my people. If it were peaceful, I could - it would take years, but it would be possible.
