private and locked AWAY FROM ERIK

[windchasing]

Yes, I am sure that distinction will make all the difference when he is done liberating the ship from its human oppressors.

Is that how you know him?

It is complicated.

I have time to listen.

I do not have the patience for you to do so.

I know him as a madman, that is the important part. If he is occasionally successful in convincing others he has the best interests of mutantkind at heart, I am happy to dispel that illusion.

I'm not convinced of it, nor has he tried to convince me. I think he has his own best interest at heart.

Good, then you have half a brain.

[ Compliments: not Pietro's forte. ]

He is younger than when I know him. It may simply be that he has not tried to convince anyone yet.

[ more than half a brain, thank you. she also believes in the presumption of innocence, despite how fucked the justice system in mega city one is. ]

So you're judging him for a crime that has not yet been committed.

I am judging him for a personality flaw I am not so naive as to overlook twice.

[ So... essentially yes. ]

A personality flaw that may not have manifested yet. Vigilance is certainly appropriate, but judging him may not be.

I will judge who I like.

When he has done anything at all to indicate he is not the man I know, perhaps I will reconsider.

[ And perhaps not. ]

That's your prerogative.

[ –Except that he was trying to convince her, wasn't he. (Pietro you're not very good at this.) ]

When he disappoints you, do not say I did not warn you.

I won't.
But I can and will both handle myself and form my own opinion.

( for what it's worth, her first conversation with erik had her stating that in her world, she would have executed him for his crimes. )
