mun has a horrible fascination with problematic characters

What exactly is the point of this?

I have... things will play out a certain way for me and we both know it. Given what happens I won't change that; things could end differently, possibly worse.

It's not that I wouldn't rather have had things be better; I'm just not willing to risk people on my behalf. I've known all my life what it meant to be a soldier and what might be expected of me, what was expected of my parents. I'm not afraid of that.

With all that said, if this is a chance to have a different life without endangering others because I'm not back there; I'd be lying if I said it isn't appealing.

If people can be safe, and that is nonnegotiable, I wouldn't mind being here.

Take some time, think about it, and we can talk.

It's good to see you too.

[Though it takes her a moment to truly relax, her head canted to the side with that appraising look she would so often give him before she pointed out something he had yet to admit to himself.]

You're a leader.

[She nodded, and frankly that sounded much better than the original thought of you're all grown up though both were clearly true now.]

Someone once suggested I give it a try, thought I'd take their advice.
