[attr="class","spiral"]His expression deadpans at her answer. Fernando flicks his wrist to look at his watch before looking back at Iris, unamused. "Really? Foster?"

[attr="class","spiral"] What is his reason? Fernando considers it for a moment before smiling to himself.

"I found you interesting. You're not like most rangers, or league members as a matter of fact. You're being handled and great care is being put into sheltering you."

He pauses, unwilling to feed into her initial speculation.

"They're afraid and want to muzzle what they expect to be feral."

Fernando turns on his heel, facing her, staring at her with a beaming smile.

"I like feral."

[attr="class","ithread"]steel eyes, molten smile. this is not the first time iris has realised there is little that can be read from fernando silph, but it is the furthest she has come to something akin to fear. in that moment, iris learns that this man too, is not like most league members.
[break][break]
feral is such an ugly word, but nothing in her seems able to fight it. it is no truth of hers, but she has seen the looks in their eyes. and so, under the weight of his gaze, she makes her quiet confession:
[break][break]
"i don't like muzzles."

[attr="class","spiral"]His smile dissipates at her comment. Is this the hook? He's unsure but pushing her further is his only choice. Well, the best choice, anyway.

"Me neither." He sneers in a show of contempt, lingering for a moment, before turning back to their path. His gait is shorter now, giving him some time to think as his steps slow to the same speed of their conversation.

"People fear what they do not understand. It makes them irrational. They act on emotion instead of logic and it shows."

He draws the line at the other end of the courtyard, bring them to the doors of the other League wing.

"I refuse to be muzzled and I despise seeing someone else put into the same boat."

[attr="class","spiral"]What's a suitable answer to such a question? To answer her earnestly? To laugh at the ridiculousness of her question? There are many paths and, as usual, he takes the safer route: vague honesty.

"They still do. It's just a question of to what degree."

There's no doubt they have different worlds. Her experiences cannot be compared to his and relating to them too closely will only serve to highlight their distinct differences. To build a bond means to relate without revealing the truth. Despite his answer, Fernando relies on the other person's assumptions to fill in the blanks.

"But they've given up, mostly."

The doors open and their in the rangers quarters. Laurence Anderson office isn't too far from here and Fernando peeks in that direction, smirking.

"You should ask your boss what he thinks of me."

[break][break]
she doesn't understand his request, or whatever it is that seems to amuse him. "he doesn't agree with you?" her mind goes back to discussions of ferity. she supposed her treatment is already enough of an answer. [break][break]iris wonders is this meeting is going to stir up any future problems with Laurence Anderson.

[attr="class","spiral"]"He among many."

He dashes any attempt of actually approaching the Head Ranger's office by motioning for her to follow him into the main lobby. He only mentioned in jest. Having a conservation with Lars is something she can do on her own time, certainly not while her attention is best kept to himself.

"Unfortunately, anyone who I so much as glance at tends to get poached. People don't understand my methods but they recognize my talent for recognizing others." The implication is less than subtle.

[attr="class","ithread"]while the information is not entirely new, iris is unsure what to make of this admission. this time, it is too blatant to write off as her own arrogance. she fights the urge to ask what it was that he recognised--it would only seem like fishing--and so she latches on to something else.

[attr="class","spiral"]Fuck. She doesn't take the bait. Maybe it was too obvious. He tried to make it just enticing enough to rope her in but somehow she goes for the other point of contention.

"Focus on quantifiable results. Regardless of feelings or sentiments, approach with whatever will acquire the desirable results — within respects of the risk and appropriate costs."

Which is all true but doesn't really answer he question.

"Outnumber and overpower enemy combatants. Crush resistance when it surfaces not when it grows into something unmanageable. Identify and confront others when they're not doing their jobs or not doing them properly." As if in the midst of casual conversation, he shrugs. "Stuff like that."

"you think that's what they should be doing?" she asks. "instead of--" she struggles to find the words, and calls on his instead, --being afraid?"

[attr="class","spiral"]Perhaps he's not the true mastermind behind mincing words to appeal to others. Just the way she phrases causes him to burst into a light chuckle, unable to keep it inside at the thought of the League acting like himself. What he imagines isn't another subset of Fernando's but instead the blunders of the current administration as they attempt to perform where they can't. It's both disheartening and digusting.

"Ideally but they won't. More importantly, they can't."
