[ the smile on his face isn't subtle when rose returns the sentiment, and it makes him feel warm. Almost as warm as the cup of tea in his hand, which he's taking a long drink from, once again. ]

You're not wrong.
I've seen quite a bit in my life. Some which I would rather not have seen. But it hasn't made me lose faith in humanity as a whole, if I'm honest.

I've seen far more good than I have bad.

Especially in this world.
I want to show that to Kni, too.

[Rose takes a moment to respond. She plays the cynic, and to some degree it's true, but there's always been a part of her that was a dreamer. The part that believes that everything will be okay eventually. The part that believes in fairytale endings.]

[Well, she can't very well go around showing that part in public, can she? She'd never live it down. But maybe, letting just a bit slip here would be fine.]

If anywhere can do it, this place certainly can. Kni certainly won't be wanting for good role models.

That's what I'm hoping for. I know there might be people who... won't want to. [ he gives her a bit of a look, a hand on the back of his neck. He doesn't want to explain that, just... in case the guy wakes up, but for now, he'll leave it vague. ]

But I'm hoping those who I've befriended and have helped me become comfortable with the idea of teaching him that ...humans aren't scary.

[ he gives a bit of a sheepish laugh. admitting that was still difficult. ]

He's got it in his heart to love others. He does.
He just needs to be given the chance.

/slams back into this

Well, regardless of what anyone says, I think he's a fine child.

[And of course, she is never wrong. She is also blissfully unaware of the atrocities that he has committed.]

He seemed nice enough at the cafe, at least.

hello ilu

[ ...he can't help it, he can't help but to smile when she says that. ]

He's a good kid.
We both really didn't know much, when we were this age.

[ he pauses, thinking about it. ]

I'm sure you already figured it out, but.
We're not human.
