If a man is set in his ways or his beliefs, there's not much you can do to stop his stubbornness.

[densely]

I guess not... he acts a little differently before, but Jeord is still Jeord.

[...]

He's nice enough when I'm not in his way, though.

[fisherwoman]

If he's not nice at all times, then it's not real kindness. You're the type to think the best in people, I imagine, but...

[densely]

Well... he must have his good side, too. And Maria is definitely the type of person who can help him to be less...

[her voice trails off.

well. less the "i'll kill my fiancee" type.

(not that the jeord katarina knows is like that anymore, but, she's stupid.)]

[fisherwoman]

A man shouldn't need a woman to push him into proper behavior. She has her own life to look after besides his.

[A sigh, and then:]

But I doubt you and I will see eye to eye on this. Maybe we should discuss something else, hm?

[densely]

That's probably true.

[they can agree to disagree! that's fine!

honestly, katarina only really disagrees because her world is an otome game and That's Just How It Works. in the real world, endorsi is 100% right.]

Let's talk about the other people here! A lot of them are pretty ... quirky, don't you think? But some of them are really nice.

[fisherwoman]

The people here, hm? Is there anyone in particular you wanted to discuss?

[densely]

...well, you have really good judgment, so... who do you think is most trusthworthy? We should try and stick together during the week.

[since, like, there are still two killers out there apparently!]

[fisherwoman]

Trustworthy? I make it a point not to depend on anyone.

[But, after a moment...]

If I were forced to choose - the three of you, and Zhongli.

[densely]

[zhongli, huh? that makes sense. katarina grins.]

I've spent a little time with him. He seems really reliable.

[fisherwoman]

He seems... responsible, I guess.

[densely]

He worked really hard yesterday, too!

[fisherwoman]

Right... I think he probably would have been able to keep us safe from that man, even if that boy hadn't done what he did.

[densely]

[lio...

katarina remembers lio launching himself at kray and looks off to the side. that's an awful way to go...]

...I think so, too. Oh, actually! I think Luo Binghe would have been able to, too. Don't you? He's also really reliable.

[does she just think this because he let her wear his robes to warm up?



maybe.]

[fisherwoman]

Oh, he definitely would have been able to.

[With a wistful sigh:]

I suppose he reminds me too much of myself to think that he's entirely trustworthy.

[densely]

[she tilts her head to one side]

Why would reminding you of yourself be a bad thing? I think you're trustworthy, Endorsi.

[fisherwoman]

Oh, it's not a bad thing. It just means that I'm... honest with myself.

[densely]

Oh...

[she doesn't really get it, tbh]

Both of you have been nothing but kind to me, though.

[fisherwoman]

Well, it's not as though you're a threat to either of us. Still, you've seen how calm he and I are about everything that's happened, right?

[densely]

Uh huh... but you come from somewhere dangerous, right? So I thought, maybe he does too, so you're used to this sort of thing...

[fisherwoman]

Well, I suppose you aren't wrong there, but...

[densely]

[katarina smiles]

You're not going to hurt me, right?

[fisherwoman]

Not if I don't think I need to.

[densely]

And I'm not going to give you any reason to think you need to, so it'll be fine!

I'm sure it's the same way for him, too.

[fisherwoman]

...You really are too trusting...
