The irony of this is astounding

Excuse me... ah, I believe I am using this properly?

My name is Hiroshi Yamane. I thought it prudent to inform the rest of the Travellers that a young man - a Prince, I believe - has been attempting to recruit young men and women to serve as priests and priestesses under the idea that the Goddess Hebe will be able to help resolve this incident. I myself have my doubts, but at the same time I feel that if I allow myself to be recruited, I may be able to better understand what else may be going on beyond what we know of the Titans and the Gods themselves. That said, I admit I am still very new to this, ah, "investigating" process, and if anybody should desire that I look into anything in particular as I work towards this endeavor, I am more than willing to listen to suggestions.

Thank you for your time.

Every life is important. I don't need to have met you before to know that much.

Really? A feeling? Because a moment ago you were talking about doubts...

[Gah, humans are confusing.]

Fear is good. Fear is rational.

Fear tells us there is danger about even when our eyes tell us there aren't any dangers.

I wasn't lecturing. I was stating facts. Facts that have been gathered over a thousand years worth of fears.

[Well, Billions, but he won't go into that.]

You make it sound like I'm forcefully preventing you from doing anything. All I am doing is providing information so you can make an informed decision.

As to having your world view violently ripped away... it's happened to me twelve times so far. And that's before I mention that my home world was put into suspended animation while it burned for all eternity.

[He might be taking a little bit of creative license with that last description, but it's easier than trying to explain the Time War and Time Locks and other such things.]

[Possibly, but the Doctor is talking about his regeneration and how every cell in his body literally turns itself inside out, but that would have taken too long to explain.]

Is it? Then why the doubt? Why the fear? Because if it were as informed as you claim, then neither of those would exist, would they?

Oh, well if that's what's going on, then you weren't very clear when you started this conversation.

Clearly you don't care if you die or not because you 'come back.' And you've requested that I shouldn't care. So, this whole thing is a mute point.

[The Doctor only has hundreds of billions of deaths to back up the fact that it is awful. Every single time. And sometimes, it's the coming back that's the worst part of all.]

Just one question.

[Because the Doctor can't not try to save everyone, no matter how much a part of him might want to give up on everyone.]

If there's nothing to discuss, why say anything at all?

Yes.

[Said with that tone of 'you are a fool.']

Question two: Why do you want to die?

[The Doctor has had enough of Maria, thanks]

Why are you acting like someone caring whether you live or die is a personal affront?

Fine. Who is this person - this prince who is doing this recruiting? I'd like to have a word with him.

[By contrast, the Doctor continues his calm demeanour and simply returns to stating facts.]

Do not apologise unless you mean it. I have been nothing but honest with you. And rather than seeing that maybe perhaps I care about human beings, you have twisted my intentions into somehow holding you back.

This has nothing to do with my trust in your capabilities and has everything to do with the fact that I don't want to see any more people die in this place. There are plenty of ways to contribute that are less likely to end in death.

But you are clearly set in sacrificing your life. That is fine. What is not fine is that in doing so, you are willing to sacrifice another 23 young lives. If you want to die, fine. Go. Die all you like. But if you take others with you, then you are no better than the supposed gods and titans of this place.

Yeah! What Hiroshi says! You're being a big old bully!
