Because I already told him I was going to look for answers, no matter what.
[karalili are actually incredibly good at communication]
He lets me go where I want, because he knows that getting answers about how to get everyone out of here as safely as we can is more important than anything else. He knows he doesn't need to protect me, because that's what I've been training for in the first place.
... but that's just how he and I are. I look to him for a lot of things but... I like that he doesn't think that I'm fragile. I think I'd be more offended if he tried to follow me around everywhere.
[ suddenly, after lili says that, something dawns on him. he stands there for a moment, just blinking, before he mutters more to himself than to his current company, ]
Shit. Is that what Mizucchi was tryin' to get into my thick skull...?
...my partner said somethin' almost exactly the way you just did once, 'bout not needin' to be protected. Hearin' it from someone else, though, someone who's got nothing to do with me or them...
[ . . . she just manages a little bit of a smile at that - tired but sincere.]
If they're you're partner, then I'm sure that they're plenty tough.
But it's nice... to have someone believe in you more than they're scared of losing you. At least for me, I think that's what I need more than a guardian.
[no she's a fool and still needs a guardian but ssshhh]
