His every whisper is important, even critical, if you only know how to interpret it -- no mean feat.

[edit] Notable Quotes

Sheridan goes to the rock garden, where he meets Ambassador Kosh. He tells Kosh that, ever since Kosh had saved his life the previous week, he hadn't thanked him properly, and that Kosh hadn't returned his calls. Sheridan asks Kosh if everything is all right.

Kosh: "Being seen by so many at once was a great strain. I returned to my ship to rest. You have a question?"

Sheridan: "Nobody knows it was you. Everyone saw something different, something from the legends of their own worlds. But it was still a terrible risk. After taking such...such care to hide what you really are, why take that chance?"

Kosh: "It was...necessary."

Sheridan: "Well, as answers go: Short, to the point, utterly useless, and totally consistent with what I've come to expect from a Vorlon."

Kosh: "Good."

Sheridan: "You know... I just had a thought: You've been back and forth to your homeworld so many times since you got here, how do I know you're the same Vorlon? Inside that encounter suit, you could be anyone."

Kosh: "I have always been here."

Sheridan: "Oh yeah? You said that about me too."

Kosh: "Yes."

Sheridan: "I really hate it when you do that."

Kosh: "Good," he says as he leaves Sheridan alone in the garden.
