yeah. well. remember when i was hissing at you over mutantkind? here's reasoning. don't worry, seems like you don't have us, so no one is going to be making crazy shit to exterminate us in your world.
all this because of a bright blue ball. they don't even know what it does proper, do they?
But didn't they... "make" you? Wouldn't that be the opposite of extermination? And I wouldn't be so sure about not having "you," by the way you describe it. I know you don't like the comparison, but the way you describe mutants is the way mages have always been described to me.
[When she describes the 'bright blue ball,' his mind flashes through a whole variety of memories of the gemstone. If she's looking at his mind at all, it's clear he's obsessed with it.]
they made me and 999 others so we could eliminate mutants, so, i mean. one step forward, 1000 steps back? no worries, though, 995 died and us 5 are anti-genocide, so all good.
(look we either make jokes or we get depressed no in-between)
... yeah, i don't. i get where you're coming from, but it's different for us, as quire ever so obnoxiously let you know. but the sentiment is kind of the same. that's why i said i wasn't surprised your mages are hiding.
(Because, well. Relatable.)
i don't trust flatscans. humans. obvious reasons, but i prefer the ones i know. it happens again, i'll help you. better the flatscan i know. i'd have helped if you asked.
[The situation she's describing with such a blasé attitude, it's not even one he can emotionally connect to because of how foreign it is. Someone just casually making a thousand people, letting over nine hundred of them die, and then the remaining five just live with that? For the rest of their lives? He doesn't even know where to start.]
...Sounds like five steps forward to me.
[It's the best he can give. He doesn't know her other four "sisters," but Sophie's not... a bad person. They can't be either, right?]
I appreciate that. But the last thing I want is more lines drawn, more sides dividing. What I said to Robin was petty. I shouldn't be asking non-Runeterrans for help solving Runeterran problems.
I don't know your level of proficiency, I don't have time to be a teacher, and there's a library with 24 hour access. I'll help if you get stuck, but I've got timelines I'm working on. If I finish what I'm trying to do, then I'll consider picking up teaching.

Oh. Yes, it's "resolved" well enough.

(Sophie is the saving grace, and that bar is still so low. She's trying.)

Pettiness for growth.)
