I hadn't expected you to keep it indefinitely.

( frankly, he's surprised she hasn't tried to set it on fire or worse already. )

[sunmon]

What did you expect when you were pretending to be decent?

[morozova]

Would you rather I'd left you to be eaten?

[sunmon]

Yes.
It’s better than you pretending to care.

[morozova]

I'll be sure to remember that in the future.
Though I think you'll find that noble martyrdom isn't quite as easy in practice as it is in principle.

[sunmon]

Better the martyr than the fool.

[ but it hadn't been. when her life had been on the line, she had not wanted to martyr herself. not for duplicity, certainly. that was the only reason she'd been fooled; she was frightened enough to believe it. ]

[morozova]

The two are not mutually exclusive.

[sunmon]

Go fuck yourself.

[morozova]

Did I hit a nerve, liubimaya?

[sunmon]

All you've done is prove that all the worst things I've believed about you are true.
I'm not giving you anything until you learn how to show some respect.

[morozova]

There are easier ways to have me kneel for you, Alina.

[sunmon]

You'll have to offer more than that. I have other people to touch me. People who behave themselves better.

[morozova]

Is that what you want? Someone that behaves.

( because he's pressing x to doubt on that one. )

[sunmon]

I want someone I trust.
