[ His voice, even in his head, is tired. Exhausted and extremely irritated, even, with the petulance of a mind not yet fully awake. Petre was pulled from his comatose state just as suddenly as he fell into it, the stress of a broodmate being ripped from him having lifted from his symbiote. Now it's ready to keep going, but it hasn't given Petre the same courtesy just yet. He'll get there eventually. ]

( Why do you have to be so loud? )

[ ... All of you, he means. Ugh. ]

[ There's always a dichotomy when Lexa talks to him - like yes, he's a child, but then it's like she sees him as a prodigy. He likes it, the value deposited in the attention he's given. Even if he still has to figure out what to do with it in a non-frustrating way. ]

I trust that you'll know when it happens. [In a very big way, trust is at the heart of it. She believes that Petre will know himself better because he'll be better disciplined. Plus, Lexa knows that she will trust him more.]

[ And again: silence. Is anyone ever going to talk to him like she does? To try to make of him what she does? ]
