[As much as Beau does her best to moderate what people know about her, it's not possible to control every perception. Still, the fact he has conclusions like this, some linking of her to a legendary hero who gave a shit, feels... weird. Like somehow she's tricked him into thinking she's a good person, some caring paragon of... something. Since when has she given a shit about anything? Since when was the world not just in her way? It sounds like he has some of those doubts too, but it still rubs her in a way she doesn't know how to quantify.

Instead, she focuses forward, keeping the weapon in her hand.]

And here I thought caring wasn't aggressive. Guess a lot of people were wrong.

[To her credit, she smiles back, even without really knowing why.]

Guess you can lead me to go aggressively care about that thing next.
