We aren't arguing. We're just having a lovely conversation.
[ she does mean this. it's tranquil here, to her, and viktor is easy to talk to. easier here than outside, maybe. it may also be that they're discussing things she's far enough removed from that most of her emotional reaction to them is just his mirroring back. she doesn't have as much personal investment in real problems like poverty or pollution, because her world is - despite constant gun violence - largely a utopia.
nothing escapes the sisterhood's watchful eyes. but in practice, that just means she knows far too much about a lot of teenage girls stumbling their way into growing up. and she thinks of every step of that journey, even the missteps, as miracles. ]
I appreciate that you showed me this. That you talk to me even when we disagree.
[He frowns, but the mood is... uncertain. He did not think he was really that much different...? Or maybe... it's he didn't notice... No one has really ever been in here this way, to see him like this.]
I guess this is like... my soul, you would probably say.

You are easy to talk with. I'm sorry it always devolves into... that.
[Some wild ass dark spiral.]

We're just both passionate about helping people in our own different ways. It's natural that we would keep circling the topic of our methods.
[ there's a slight hesitation to ask what she's wondering so she just hedges it as a statement instead. ]
You're more open here. I wonder why that is.

You've mentioned something like this already.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you feel self conscious about it.
It's just such a change. You're less subdued and that's nicer to see. I enjoy you much more when you're expressive.
Emotive.
[ because emotions are good, you see. ]

Yes, you would say this. I'm aware you and Kiraman don't agree with my new methods.
no subject
I believe that your heart is in the right place.

[A good deed never goes unpunished!! Sometimes, you get punished by your own hubris.]
Thank you, though. Both of you. For our chats. I would thank Mary, but she usually agrees with me in some way or another.
no subject
[ she has no idea if this is true or not. ]
Regardless of what I think, it's probably good that Mary agrees with you a little more. I wouldn't want you to feel like you're being ganged up on.
no subject
I think by now, I would have simply accepted that is the way things would be.

I'm not sure the extent of your powers. What you could do with them if you felt under attack.
[ but she trusts you! so it's probably fine! ]
