[ she does listen to him, and from the considering hum, even takes his words seriously — perhaps rethinking how she took his earlier questions to be, an accusation rather than an unpracticed try to help. ]
Perhaps I've misjudged you. [ she sighs, somehow matching his tired tone. ] My apologies for that.
I understand you wouldn't just trust anyone because they tell you to. Degar's not straightforward, no, but he's also not deceitful. He only wants the best for all of you. And so do I.
[ and out of the two of them, the one who is more used to the kind of ruthlessness itachi perhaps expects from one in a leading position... it's her, not degar. ]
As for why you were asking about me — I appreciate the thought, trying to find... something, for me. But there's nothing you can do. My past is my past. My present is my present. And it's all for a reason. I've accepted that. This is how I can best help Degar — help all of you here.
