I've not thought about it at all...

Is "that I understand myself even less than they do" a sufficient answer. For all that it is the truth.
... It's... not really about me, necessarily. But I find that they struggle with the concept of chaos. They think everything that happens to them is part of some grander plan of mine, and not just turns of fate and chance that I'm rarely even particularly involved in. They would have far fewer opportunities to be annoying if they could understand that much.

It's not an unreasonable paranoia. Just directed wrongly. [shrugs] For all that it's random, fortune does seem to have its favorites, doesn't it.
... It changes, though. Doesn't it? Once you're able to make your own. And the good begins to outweigh the bad, if only a little.
Guess I don't know how to do that, make my own. But. I think it's starting to. Get better. Because even when luck isn't on my side, I have people who are.
... Oh, and I can fly now. Some. [brightens up, because she'd given up on thinking it was possible.] Been getting the hang of it.

Hm... [observing her with an almost scientific curiosity.] Peter Pan rules, then? How strange.
Doing that seventy feet in the air will probably not end well.

Yeah, I squished Steven and he kept yelling about something called Totoro. I don't know how we're from the same world. [should she try again or is that embarrassing...? no she can't give into those sorts of thoughts.
deep breath, stares down at the squishmallow very intently!]

Would it be easier for you to be happy if I weren't here?

As a penguin, he is already sufficiently military formal. He does, however, wear a little sash with his honors on it while inspecting the guard.
... Another magic system integrated. Fascinating.

Ah, that's true. [forming a very cute mental picture in her mind of him marchwaddling along.] What's his name? Or is it too Norwegian to pronounce? [she's pretty sure that's one of the languages where the letters look keyboard smashed.]
Mmn, I figured out it's not really a function of the rest of my abili- shh, science. [smiles, clearly teasing. has absolutely no physics explanation for how this works.] Is it? I thought plenty of people could fly.

I can think of lots of things to do. More if I wasn't stuck on a dumb boat. But eventually I'd have done everything so many times. Eventually I'd run out of things, and I'd be bored. And look.
