[ it's her turn to be silent while working through his words. ] I know. [ is the most immediate reaction. she knows erik can care and hurt the people he cares about anyway-- he'd done it to her to drive some a point, deliberately cruel. ]

I also know that he and I disagree on a lot of things. Maybe it won't be true, maybe I can't mitigate his more extreme tendencies, but I have to try.

[ another silence, and then there's steel underlying her tone again: ] It's my choice, Charles.

[ Right. It's hard to not take it personally. He certainly sounds like he is. ]

As your own personal cautionary tale, I do hope you find what you're looking for.

[ it isn't personal, is the thing. it's her being herself, and it isn't a reflection on him. ]

Thank you.

[ And yet.

He ends the call. It's very prissy, even if it is at least in part a way to avoid losing his temper properly. He will deeply regret it, if this is how they part by the time she's leaving, but that's what he gets!! ]
