[uraniumnumnum]

[ he doesn't miss her having a bad reaction to the end of the trial. She really does care about protecting the humans, it seems. Very much not like himself. For a moment, he wonders if he should reconsider. It's almost certain that she would view him like the humans do, hate him just the same. It always is.

But he doesn't. ]

You. I'm not done speaking to you.

[ he catches her at some point afterwards, with all the politness one would expect from him... aka none. ]

[she shakes her head]

Have you even attempted to coexist with them? Have they attempted to coexist with you?

Much like how I forged my own path based on nothing but my own convictions, I believe you capable of the same.

[ at that, he bristles. She's trying to advise him - as if she knows better than him, he thinks! ]

Have you attempted to walk on the ceiling? Breathe underwater? There are some things you can't overcome with conviction, spirit.

[thatsthespirit]

That's not my point, you idiot, and you know it.

[thatsthespirit]

No, that is your point.

[lifts her chin proudly, as Maxwell does]

You stated there are some things one can't overcome with conviction. But I say there is, by refuting your examples.

After all, how would you know you could not overcome these things if you don't even try?
