Fuck, yeah. I-... An explosion went off real near me, and I got thrown, and I was thinking, 'fuck, I'm dead, and this is all I've done with my life?' And when I came to, I wasn't dead, and I just- I ran. I ran until I got to the coast and I saw a ship and I swam to it. I didn't have a plan. I just fucking ran. I... I've never told anybody that. Fuck.
So, yeah, think what you want about me.

Well, I can't tell you how you ought to see yourself. I don't know. But in my experience, cowardice is a word that gets thrown around to keep people fighting long after it would have been sensible to walk away.
Do you not like nicknames? I'll call you that if you want, but... calling someone an animal is the worst insult. As far as I'm concerned. [As far as the Qun is.]
[A quiet sound, it could be a laugh or a sigh.] You're too much.
I believe in responsibility. I'm at least partially responsible, and even if I wasn't, I'm a division head. It's my responsibility to look out for people with less range than me. Less... room. What- what you said, less power.

Date: 2019-10-20 08:57 pm (UTC)Kitty is a nickname. My real name's Kathleen. [ A beat. ] Don't call me that, though.
