( She's dragging a hand over her face, so her voice might be just a little muffled. )

Can't you bend the rules on that, this once?

[Ezio sighs lightly.]

What are you afraid of doing that will ruin what could be?

I dunno! Lose my temper?

( Flippant, but there's already been so much patience between them, she doubts that'd be the final straw. )

That's not it. Not be good enough? I mean, not what they want, really-- not that I don't think I'm good enough, it's just that if this doesn't work out then thing'll be all stuffed up, just with us being friends.

I guess everything. ( Ellie Linton, terrorist, war criminal, scared of messing it up. ) Sorry. This is stupid, I'll-- pretend we didn't have this conversation. Pretend that I called and yelled at you about stuff that made no sense for a few minutes and you told me to control my anger. All right?

( Stupid, Ellie. This was stupid. )

Ellie, you are going to make mistakes. That is the only way to learn. You can't know what will and won't work if you simply assume. If this person is truly interested in you, they will not leave you so soon or so easily.

[Yes, he's going to ignore the part where she said to pretend this never happened.]

( Somewhere, in another part of Exsilium, Ellie is resting her head on a desk and regretting the decision to talk to anyone about this ever.

But she's also kind of glad for him saying that. There's a little bit of a pause, before she allows herself to speak. )

It's easier to believe something when someone else says it out loud.

( Which is to say, "thank you." )
