I'd like that, I think. I never really greatly explored anywhere. Before, I only saw the world in glimpses... After, I couldn't afford to linger. For any number of reasons...
It's so strange, to imagine a tomorrow any different than yesterday. I don't know how I'll get used to it.
You will. The fear of the unknown doesn't stand a chance against the excitement of the unknown. And I'll be there to keep you company and protect you from any swooping birds of prey.
... I said most of those things to hurt her. She refused to understand. Why I couldn't just... I couldn't pick them over you. Not unless they earned it.
I know. It's difficult for them to accept it. I think they want reassurance that their survival won't always hinge on your love for me. [because they don't think it's real. they think the roots are shallow and easily pulled.]
They all want you to be able to simply choose a different path. I even thought that might be the case. But it isn't. We have to learn to work within the rules, if we want to eventually break them.
Unless the author is too full of themselves to allow a happy ending. [dissing gordon edgley from beyond the grave]
...If I found out anything that Friday would ask me to keep from you, for the sake of reality itself... should you be told?
[not even trying to hide that it's s already happened. but he doesn't think it will be his information to share. Ava was there with Fio, and she was there with the ghosts...]
Alright. [easier said than done in the long-term, but until he and Ava figure out what exactly is going on, it's best to leave it at that for now.]
If you see the opportunity to take any of Friday's work into your own hands, I would suggest you do so. I wasn't lying when I said she can't handle it all. Between Halloween, Vile, and now these cracks...
[he sighs. squeezes his hands.]
I'd rather not have all of this end because an overworked construct made a clerical error.
Ah, yes, she is French. [a pause, and a grin.] It's always very funny that she can only hear in English now, and has no idea I'm always speaking to her in French.

[he has to reach out to Ava as soon as possible. he has to text Darcy, too, to let her know that he took her concern to heart. ...speaking of.]
Darcy's requested you not bring Avery up in the future. Can you do that for me, if not for her?

[...]
Unless she deserves it.

[it's about compromise, though!]
I'm sure you can find something else to upset her with besides her bad taste in father figures. Trust me, it's easy. I do it all the time.

Oh, she would hate to learn that. She might actually try to fight you for the right to her mother tongue.
