She thinks it but doesn’t say it outloud, not willing to chance actual anger from him. He doesn’t seem the type to appreciate having attention drawn to his kind gestures. After all, he is right. You can’t get far that way.
When she finally speaks it’s to the ground, unable to look at him properly as if he’d see that private thought scrolled on her face. She wonders if her expression is as eerily blank as it feels. ]

[ Maybe nice is ultimately crippling but she thinks it’s better than some of the other options. ]
