I always said I’d go to any extreme to get what I wanted.

[That just makes his smirk smugger.]

Perhaps. But effective nonetheless.

I don't care, councilman.

Don't you? An odd thing to state when you seem so invested in discussing the particulars with me.

[Looks some down] The only thing that resembled a family is. . .gone. [OC just letting you know.]

[I figured!]

I cannot speak on the merits of family.

[I'm sorry. :c]

[She shrugs]

That's fine. I figured you wouldn't.

[A beat, and he sinks into that pause before:]

Loss is necessary for gain, sometimes.

What could I have gained from this?

Perspective, to say the least. His philosophy wasn't the only one.

I see. I didn't follow him on his philosophy but just to stop the fighting.

A respectable tactic.

But sometimes action must take the place of words, as I have demonstrated.

Hm.

I don't respect the action you have taken. [She won't move off it] But guess there's no use now since the deed has been done.

Is this neutral ground, then?

It's neutral ground. [She won't forgive you though]

How tensely spoken.

Yes. [Holding back some tears]

Your investment is far from over, I see. Emotional or otherwise.

Yes. [She's feel better now] I'll learn to deal with it.

Adaptability is an admirable trait.

If you so say, Councilman.
