Now there's a rare concept indeed. The notion that I've done enough.
[One that he's willing to bet she can relate to, in terms of how absurd an idea it is to apply to themselves.]
If it turns out, someday, that you can't have her. That your feelings have no bearing on it, that she's made up her mind to do as she will, with no changing or preventing it.
[Farewell, Minfilia.]
Still, you'll be all right. D'you understand? It won't hurt that way forever. It doesn't.
[she absolutely can relate, and it makes her lips twitch.
but... the rest of that, like. she could argue, she could sass or be mean, but she's had a few drinks and she kind of. just wants someone to tell her that it's going to be all right. that she will be. that things won't hurt forever, whatever they are. even if she already knows that, rationally.
she thinks about lavi smiling at her from behind bars, and closes her eyes.]
Yeah, yeah. I understand, God. [okay, maybe she can't resist a little bit of sass. she just tries to let the tension drop out of her shoulders.
