"Lavender Brown?" He repeated, unsure that he heard her correctly. That wasn't a name he knew and he didn't understand why Samara would so willingly tell things to a stranger, even anonymously. Really, he would have liked to think she knew better because with the right sort of motivation, Eli knew there was no such thing as anonymous. "And she has a database? All those dreams just sitting around ripe for the plucking - I wouldn't be surprised if someone stole it from her." Especially if this was random, then whatever vehicle Pandora was currently using could certainly need some sort of map to make things easier.
"Is it smart to announce who you are to this girl? You might as well just make a giant sign." Sometimes keeping secrets saved lives. They kept people safe because the fewer people who knew about something, the fewer people who could use that against you. Eli did not like the idea of Samara outing herself to some girl who cared about dreams at the onset.
