You're the only one who's offered. [And she's not going to go where she isn't useful.

And really, the only person who trumps Charles in importance is Winter, and... He doesn't need her for anything like that, she doesn't think.]

[ Hm. That may be true, but he doubts that many people know that Wrath requires a place outside of the Fleet. ]

My offer will remain open, no matter what.

Okay. [She relaxes down a bit.] Don't joke like that, asshole.

[Who the fuck wants a broken soldier?]

You're really important to me.

[ It wasn't a joke, but Charles holds his tongue. He knows there are some things Wrath isn't prepared to handle. Individuality is a difficult thing to hold onto. ]

You are important to me too.

[She still has a difficult time understanding the idea that someone would want her around for a reason other than her ability to perform a job. It conflicts too directly with a deeply planted directive.]

I won't let you down.

[ His lips quirk. ]

When have you ever?

[She considers this as a serious question.]

When you thought I'd asked Erik to be responsible for killing me?

[ He winces. ]

I misinterpreted that.

That was my fault. I was being dumb.

[ He sighs. ]

I know what you . . . needed from that, I'm sure. The same thing Winter does, at times. But Erik is -- [ He pauses. ] He's not a weapon, even though his powers may have that capability.

Erik reminds me too much of Envy sometimes, maybe.

But I know he's a person. And I'm still really sorry about it. [But it's people who are going to have to stop her or Winter, if it comes to that.]

[ He nods. ]

I know.

Which part?

That you see him as a person.

Good.

I guess there isn't anyone here I don't think is a person. [Except for herself. But Winter said together or not at all, so... if Winter is a person, it seems she has to be too, somehow.]

Not even yourself?

[ Don't think he hasn't been clued in here. ]

Winter says I'm a person. [So does Tenno.]

I don't hear you saying it.

[Her hand seeks out one of Charles's, not because she has any thoughts about the projecty-whatever Charles mentioned, but because it's another gesture for herself, something to hold on to. An assurance of the reality of the situation.]

Winter said together or not at all. So if I think he's a person, that means I have to be a person too.

[ Smart man, Charles thought as he squeezes her hand gently. ]

That seems fair.

My best friend's an asshole. [But that makes her smile. She's got a lot of love for Winter, nothing she'd say to him in a million years. That's now how soldiers talk anyway, and she'd just make him unhappy if she got stupid at him.]

But yeah. A really smart asshole.

Well, best friends tend to fall in that category.

[It makes sense. She's an asshole too, in her own way, considering Winter's ultimate dick move in that conversation had been one he basically stole from her.]

Yeah, I can see that. Erik's kind of an asshole too. [But she means that in the best possible way. She likes Erik a lot, after all.] And super smart.

He has always been . . . extraordinary.

...is that a really nice way of saying asshole?
