"Denial is the first stage of grief."[break][break]

Although he might not be grieving, exactly, the statement still stood. Or it wobbled because Stormy's delivery wasn't as strong as she meant it to be. [break][break]

"Please, Fern. Don't push me away."[break][break]

[attr="class","spiral"]He’s about to argue back but resigns himself to his fate. They’ve done this dance far too many times for him to fall for it once more. He picks up the napkin from the table, wiping it across from his mouth, before setting it on his plate.

“Okay. Fine.”

He’ll play along.

“What do you want me to say?”

His hands clasps together as he focuses on on her own. He doesn’t miss a beat. They search, probing, looking for the answer that lies underneath her words.

“Why do you hate dahlia goode?”

Surprise is a smooth transition as her face relaxes. She lifts her shoulders in a shrug, inviting him to ask. But his question is so blunt and unprecedented that she stares back blankly, processing.[break][break]

"... what?"[break][break]

Hate dahlia goode? That was impossible. The woman had done nothing but support and assure her every step of the way. Every interaction they had so far had been almost painfully human and normal. Laughter, smiles, easy conversation. She tentatively considered the commissioner a friend.[break][break]

"I don't hate her, Fern. Why do you think that I do?"[break][break]

Was it because she had questioned the contract? Her reluctance had stemmed from her own insecurities and fears, not out of malice for a woman who was doing her best. Stormy Silph had never fit any mold that had been laid out for her, and the concept of putting her name on a dotted line to promise she would be anything was intimidating.[break][break]

He pauses but never breaks eye contact.

“I see it in everything you do. You’re coming undone. Every rash decision you make—what is it, Bronwen? What is it between you two?”

If she wavers in intensity it's because she is uncomfortable and confused. She immediately jumps to the conclusion that he's messing with her - but that thought is disregarded immediately. She'd asked him to be honest, and this must be it. [break][break]

"We're friends, I think. I consider us friends."[break][break]

The thought of giving up crosses his mind but he decides to push one last button. He needs to really dig in to get his point across.

“It’s okay. You can tell me. Does she have something on you?”

Stormy frowns, visibly annoyed to some degree by this point. His drilling has gotten either of them anywhere from where she's sitting. If he's trying to get a rise out of her, he's on his way to exasperation.[break][break]

“I’m looking for a suitable answer to your question. It might have taken you a bit but we’ve come full circle.”

His eyes narrow.

“I don’t know if you’re projecting or trying to instill some sense of values onto me that I clearly do not have. I can’t tell you the answer you want to hear when it doesn’t exist.”

Fernando sighs before face palming.

“Bronwen, I know you don’t have an issue with the Commissioner. I was mimicking you, forcing a narrative that is blatantly false, and refusing to accept the answer I was wrong all along.”

His patience wears thin but he sees it to its conclusion. Even if she won’t realize it, he wasn’t kidding about teaching her through his own assortment of questions. It just pains him that he has to spell it out letter by letter.

“Because you can’t seem to understand that whatever grief, or conflict you see in me is also false.”

He waves for the waiter. They’re finished here.

“In fact, it can do more harm than good. Complaining about people you see in a positive light on taints them. It warps your perspective in ways that might be more critical from me than you would’ve seen otherwise, which is why it’s important to instill discipline and choose what you say.”
