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...

[densely]

Not really. I'm prepared to use my sword if I have to.

But I'm really hoping I won't have to.

[fisherwoman]

Ha... Agree to disagree again, I suppose. Who do you think is the most noteworthy people here, then?

[densely]

Well... you, and Estelle, and Seraphine are my favorites!

[she has a bias for cute girls]

But, um... Ogata stands out to me, I guess. He's rough around the edges and he says strange things sometimes, but I think he was trying to look out for me yesterday. And he apologized about the whole "Katarina could be a serial killer" thing, even though I didn't even hear it so he didn't have to.

[fisherwoman]

[she

groans]

[densely]

...do you not like him?

[fisherwoman]

That's not the point, Katarina...

[densely]

...sorry. I don't really get what the point is.

[fisherwoman]

It shouldn't matter if he apologized! Don't be friends with people who call you a murderer in the first place!

[densely]

From what he said when he was apologizing, no one believed him, so it's okay! It made me feel really good to know you guys trust me!

[fisherwoman]

Whether anybody believes him isn't the point, either... It's that he was mean and stupid enough to say it in the first place!

[densely]

...but isn't that kind of what you've been saying just now? That people aren't necessarily as trustworthy as they look?

[they've only known each other for a week. katarina could totally be a serial killer!!

(she's not smart enough to be one. but she could be.)]

I don't think he was really serious. I think he was just trying to prove a point, in an awkward way. And it's okay! I have a really villainous-looking face, so I can see why he'd say it.

[she does, in fact, have Resting Villain Face. she just tries really hard to smile a lot so it's not obvious.]

[fisherwoman]

I wasn’t talking about you when I said that.

[Hm.]

Do you? Show me, then.
