Even if you work against their laws?

[hasteful]

[he pauses a little at that and rests his chin in his hand]

... it's complicated... but I've seen the way that sometimes humans make laws that they think'll help, but it doesn't work out the way they want them to.

[allomantic]

[tilting her head.]

That's a little optimistic of you.

[hasteful]

Maybe.

It's not that I don't think people can be cruel - I just don't know if I believe cruelty is all there ever is.

[allomantic]

And what happens when that sentiment brings you pain?

[hasteful]

I get mad, same as anyone else.

Though... I don't expect to live such a fortunate existence where I get to avoid pain or difficulty. Luckily, I'm pretty sturdy.

[she seems to mull that over for a moment, but in the end, all she says is:]

...I see.

[the simplicity of her answer makes him laugh]

I hope my answer is up to your standards, Vin.

[it is unfortunately the only one he has]

[allomantic]

[she shrugs.]

That is not what matters.

[hasteful]

Oh? Then why did you ask me?

[allomantic]

[shrugs]

I wanted to see what you would say.
