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

Oh. Thanks, I think.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

How long did it take you to learn that?

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

Oh. Okay.

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

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

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

That's being a little down on yourself.

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

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

[Naturally not advice she herself would follow.]

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

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

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

You might think different someday.

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

Like what?

I have others under my care, and their welfare is mine to ensure.

Like a big sister?
