Jesus Christ. [He leans a hip against the ledger podium so he can rub his face with his hand.] You know the argument I had with the girl, Kyoko. She came to me a few days later and we had a discussion about her behaviour, a proper one, about how knowing when you've overstepped and apologising for it isn't weakness. Being able to acknowledge that you've hurt someone and making an active choice to step away from an argument doesn't make you vulnerable. It makes you the bigger person.

[He scoffs dryly.]

I can't believe a literal child is able to grasp the concept more succinctly than a grown fucking woman.

Yes. It was on the advice of her warden, admittedly, but she did a wonderful job at trying to understand how to go about our argument better next time. And it turns out we truly did have more in common than we suspected, so we even managed to get a quick bit of bonding in before she buggered off to adventure.
