You don't approach things with a soldier's mindset. But her approach is not always most suited to the barge, either.
I don't think you're naive, or that you need to be protected from harsh realities.
[Even if he can be painfully oblivious.]
I trust that you're doing this in good faith, and that you are trying your hardest to do good for the people you care about. I trust that you know yourself and what you need better than I do.
So if you want to handle panic attacks yourself, I want to know what it looks like for us to let you. Time? Space? A few minutes alone to process, or would you rather we stay present and wait without calling attention to it?
Shaw's a soldier. I don't know what I am. But I'm a spy more than anything else, and you don't notice things.
I respect you enough not to lie to you, and pretend there's a simple answer to that question.
For what it's worth...part of being a Shuos is thinking about everyone's weaknesses. There's two, maybe three people on the barge I would say I respect unreservedly. I love far more people than I trust, and that trust is almost always qualified.
I trust that she is also doing this in good faith. I trust that she will do her duty as she sees it. I trust that she is trying to be flexible, even though this process is not suited to her strengths.
