[ in her childhood, she ate a good chunk of her sweets in secrecy. ]
In a way, yes. I won't go back to touring so soon, but... I'll be handling some things on my planet. You saw... my memory. In the aftermath, I want Penacony to change in a new direction.
[ there's a lot of political upheaval going on. ]
And I still have to make sure my brother will be safe.
I did, yeah. [she saw the memory and it was a little concerning at the time, and it's still concerning now, actually.]
It sounds like a lot of responsibility, Robin. Not that I wouldn't trust you with it. [far from it. she trusts robin a lot with something delicate like politics because she both optimistic and pragmatic in the best ways.] But I hope you have people who can help you.
[there's also a pang of sympathy when she mentions sunday.]
You're going to go back and try to see him? [she already knows the answer, but she also remembers what robin told her about how her efforts keep being rebuffed.]
I'm not in a leadership position, so there's only so much I can do, but I have enough information in my hands that it shouldn't be the worst scenario.
[ she's a symbol or a spokesperson more than anything else, but that has its own kind of sway. she is unfortunately too familiar with politics because of her family, but it's her upbringing. ]
Even if I still can't see him, I can try to do something about his situation. I have to try.
[ if she gave up, she'd have no legs to stand on. ]
Having the information means a lot more than you'd think. As long as you can be in a place where you can sort it and start finding a way to use it. And being here...maybe it'll help to look at it with fresh eyes.
[coming out of an experience where people were miserable and trying to carry the hope. she knows this has changed all of them in one way or another.]
I think he has to know you're going to try. He wouldn't expect you just to quit, would he? [this is more rhetorical than anything.] Everyone's just going to have to listen and eventually let things change.
