[Ethlyn gives Claude a keen look. He's cutting right through her justifications.]
I can see why you're an archer. Your insights strike just as true--and mercilessly.
[It's an acknowledgement that he's right, because when he puts it that way, she can't deny it. She doesn't blame Noel, but having to help the injured in the aftermath has been a way to hold off thinking about how she came close to death again. She doesn't want to think about that feeling. She doesn't want to talk to anyone about it. How would she even begin, anyway?]
You're right, of course. I can't imagine how badly I'd feel if someone had taken hold of my mind and used me to hurt others. It's a relief that they were able to get their minds back after all.
[She smiles a little when he mentions the idea of a celebration, though.]
That would be a wonderful way to lift people's spirits--and I'd be happy to take the role of chaperon on this occasion.
