[An intonation of Smoker's words from earlier in the week, and a startling parallel between the two men that harbored such dislike for each other. Lupin understood this, on many levels.]
I know that we need to give it time, but I still want to try. This isn't something I want to give up on, even if we never really agree on this point. I am also pacing myself, not working as hard as I was. I need to work on my projects, but I am taking my time.
--Their argument against all of this was that they're trying to protect me, and that I'm too compromised to help. That may be so, but it's not that much worse than Robbie or Donatello. And not near as bad as Steve, Tony, and Loki could be.
...I was going to ask around, you first. Then Daisy, Shepard, Fujiko, Shikamaru, and even Steve. He doesn't know, but I would have briefed him on what happened. He all ready has an idea, but I hesitated on giving him the full story. If any one of you had concerns, I would have pulled back. I'd have pulled back anyway, because this weather is making everything tricky.
Even if talking won't work right now, Adele deserves a shot. She at least deserves some honesty, and now it's a question of how her idea of partnership compares to mine. It might be too different, but it should be discussed.
