[ It's a surprising thing to hear, in a way. Maybe it's because she's been so used to being ridiculed by it as of late. But it makes her wonder... why. Is she good just because she mentioned the abstinence thing? Or is it a quietly calculated of everything he's learned about her so far?

(And it's funny, considering he'd said he didn't think God listened to him.)

She would never dare declare herself good, especially not over others. She's trying her best in life, and it's certainly up to God to decide whether it's enough. But even then, it's... kinda kind of him to note it, and there's a tiny smile. ]

It's... what I'm trying to be. [ Isn't that what any of them are? People just... trying to be good? Kind? Patient? Humble? ]

I try to be a good person. Because... that's important, too. Even when sometimes it's hard to be. Maybe especially when it's hard to be.

[ Especially in a place like this one. ]

Okey dokey! 👍

[Rorschach agreed.]

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

[If he'd wanted anything else in life like money or power, he could have gotten it easily just by discarding his morals and principles. Keeping hold of them was one of the reasons he'd become a superhero. The fact Kate had managed to remain good and kind even in a place like this spoke a lot about her character.

He took a look around at where they were at. They'd walked quite a distance.]

Back to the hall?

[He suggested.]

[castitas]

No, it's really not. [ Still she smiles. Because something being difficult isn't going to put her off, especially when it's something so worthwhile — like he says.

She looks around as he does, mouth twisting to the side slightly. Mm, probably might be a good idea to head back. It's pretty cold out too. ]

Yeah. [ Kate nods. Maybe she can try to sleep again now she's kind of... cleared her head a bit. ] Thanks for walking with me.

That's a wrap!

[He had that strange, odd startled movement run through him again when Kate told him thanks for walking with her, the same as when she'd thanked him before. Such a strange and polite girl to be thanking him for things he did without thought. Protecting others was in his nature, especially someone young and helpless like he perceived Kate to be.

Then he brushed it off. In a gruff but not angry tone, he said:]

Welcome.

[Then back he went with her to the Community Hall, always hovering close like some sort of guardian angel.]
