Nike has a good point, even if it's not the one Blaze is trying to focus them on. She pauses, gives a nod and a small shrug. "Well, if someone's dangerous enough you have to lie to them to keep other people safe, I don't think it's wrong. But that's more of a- tactical consideration. He still ought to hear the truth."

She shifts where she's sitting, pulling back to rub at one antenna, gaze dropping for just a second. She ought to look Nike in the eye when she says this.

"Just like when someone's on the powerful end of an unequal contract, and they try to act like it's just a formality. When they don't get- when they don't think about how much power they have over the other person, so they expect they can just be a friend to them like anyone else. Truth is, they- I - have to face up to what it really means." She pauses, as if she's taking a deep breath. Maybe allowing Nike to, if she wants.

"So... we have to talk about our contract. I want to know if we can undo it. Make a new one - if you want to - on better terms."
