[oh, jeez

she nods as catra speaks, face softening, but not pitying.]

So you've undergone a lot of pressure, and come out the other side as the stronger person.

[supercatty]

[ah--]

[ah. . .???]

[?????]

Uh-- [she doesn't really feel like she's stronger, but. . .]

I mean-- yeah, of course. I'm tough as nails, you know? You gotta be when you're in the Horde.

[divineimpulse]

I think you must be even stronger, now that you're out.

[sips tea]

[supercatty]

[. . .]

[SLURPS TEA. . . and doesn't respond! she looks a little uncertain, actually]

[divineimpulse]

[like that isn't a straightup transparent expression

byleth cocks her head slightly, the visual expression of a question mark.]

You don't think so?

[supercatty]

. . . I don't know.

I always thought I was strong. And maybe I was, but never in the ways that really mattered.

[divineimpulse]

[she nods.]

Everyone is strong in different ways. That's what makes us unique.

Perhaps you discovered a part of yourself you never knew was as strong as it was.

[supercatty]

[. . .]

It feels a little more like I found out I was weak all along.

[is she going to provide context for any of this?? no?? okay Catra]

[divineimpulse]

Knowing your own limits is also a strength, Catra.

Just knowing yourself, and what you're truly capable of, will take you far.

[supercatty]

[she isn't sure what to say to that, so. . .]

[she sips at her tea again, perfectly silent]

[divineimpulse]

[and thus do they sit in congenial silence for a while.]

You'll have to visit.

[supercatty]

[sitting up a bit, ears perking forward]

Oh-- yeah. I will, don't worry. I promised Mabel and everything, sooooo. . .

[trying to act like promising this is NO BIG DEAL when it kind of is??? because being wanted is weird??]

[divineimpulse]

It's a promise, then.

And I'll definitely see you around.
