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.

[densely]

[villain face, ahoy!]

[fisherwoman]

...That’s unexpected.

—And a little annoying! How is it that I try to look fearsome all the time, but you make it seem so easy?

[densely]

Never underestimate the looks of a woman who is destined to be a villainess!

[fisherwoman]

...Destined? What do you mean?

[densely]

...it's a long story.

[hmm, how to explain it...]

But basically... in my world, there's a way things are... I guess, "supposed" to go? There are things that could happen, and if they did, other things would definitely happen. I'm supposed to be the evil person who gets in the way of Maria's true happiness.

...but I don't want to live like that at all!
