If you're a student at Xavier's school, tell me what you think about it. Truthfully.

A different method, but surely she still met with the appropriate retaliation, yes?

Video

[halfwitch]

Yes. She did.

Video

[glowsferatu]

Then I imagine you're deserving of my congratulations. ...And my sympathy, for the circumstances having arisen in the first place.

Re: Video

[halfwitch]

Oh. Thanks, I think.

I've never had someone congratulate me for that before.

Video

[glowsferatu]

We all have important tasks before us, and the fulfillment of such is generally worthy of praise. You did not shrink from it, as others might have.

Video

[halfwitch]

Others wouldn't. Not if they had been in the same place I was.

[glowsferatu]

From what I've seen, humans are rarely willing to be as vicious as the scenario may call for. Whether other would or not is hypothetical, really. You did, and I consider that admirable.

Video

[halfwitch]

That's because you get looked down at for being like that. People start acting like you are something to be scared of.

Video

[glowsferatu]

Including, if you are fortunate, those who might otherwise be inclined to harm you or those within your purview.

Video

[halfwitch]

Rarely lucky. Sometimes being scary makes people want to hurt you.

Video

[glowsferatu]

It is a balance. One must practice the discernment to know with whom to be gentle and which threats must be kept at bay.

Video

[halfwitch]

How long did it take you to learn that?

Video

[glowsferatu]

Well, uh, I can't say I've exactly perfected it yet, personally.

Video

[halfwitch]

Oh. Okay.

Video

[glowsferatu]

I apologize that I cannot provide a better degree of assistance.

Video

[halfwitch]

That's okay. You're being more helpful than a lot of people I know.

Video

[glowsferatu]

I imagine there'd be little use for me if I weren't.

Video

[halfwitch]

That's being a little down on yourself.

Video

[glowsferatu]

Only to a degree I would consider appropriate, given the circumstances.

Video

[halfwitch]

Being hard on yourself won't do you any good. It doesn't change anything.

[Naturally not advice she herself would follow.]

Video

[glowsferatu]

It may at least encourage the wisdom in oneself to neglect approaching things from such a pointless direction as is otherwise usual.

Video

[halfwitch]

I don't think so. [Mostly because she's still trying to figure out what Kanaya just said.]

Video

[glowsferatu]

Well, that has always been successful for my consideration, at least.

Video

[halfwitch]

You might think different someday.

Video

[glowsferatu]

Then that would be indicative of a loss of focus. There are far more important duties for me to serve.
