... She knows how to be kind. It doesn't feel like much, but it's worth more than she realises.
"... That's kind of... dumb." ... Yeah, it is, though. And she's making a little face at that. "Why would anyone think they'd be able to get on the good side of something that doesn't even want us here?"
