[Awww. A fond smile. She can imagine the things Rochalizo was saying, and also - after everything else, the part of Sholmes she likes best is his tendency towards kindness.]
But then, I would have to perform them on myself for behaving in quite a similar manner, and that would be very difficult to achieve.
Or we could decide against it, and to simply. . . forgive one another for feeling a bit of self-pity after an absolutely dreadful ordeal that robbed us of our autonomy, provided we try to move forward with a better attitude.

... Well, if nothing else, he did tell me immediately after I drank the water that it was poisoned and he didn't think it'd be enough to kill. [granted, he didn't sound, like. positive about that part.] And that it had nothing to do with feelings of righteousness.
He . . . once told me he wasn't really created to have emotions, that he learned how to have them by mimicking others. But in reality, that sounded to me like something cruel someone told him he ought to believe. I think . . . he behaved rather emotionally, didn't he?
By that point, everyone knew I was a killer, and even so they couldn't put aside their feelings. If they cared about me, they ought to have cared about you - it's that simple.
. . . And if you care about me, you must care for yourself as well. The same logic applies.
[he's probably not going to go around letting everyone poison him, but he was rather emotionally checked out by the time flat offered him suspicious water, and he's never been great at turning down requests (as susato has seen).]
Apparently we do not get hungry here, despite the demands for food. So, a short reprieve, though I would not drug you again. And maybe a little rest is alright, before we dive right in.

Yes... that may be the better solution.

However you feel, you must know you did not deserve to be treated that way, nor did I deserve to have my wishes disregarded.

I'm disappointed in him.

he can't really defend flat here, since the whole poisoning really also ended up ruining kaeya's life, apparently.]

I'm... trying. You need not worry about that.

You probably could stand to be more cautious about food and drink you accept. . .

I'm glad. We have a lot to do.

Indeed we do. I didn't imagine we'd be getting much rest here.
