Everybody has a breaking point.

[Her tone is light, like she's playing the words off as a joke, but there's an undercurrent of seriousness there.]

[fork_off]

Of course they do. But I survived years in the Arctic. Twice. I think I can take what this place throws at me.

[littlebattles]

[The fact that he doesn't deny it helps, a bit. She likes realists.]

Glad to hear it, boss.

I can handle what the world throws at me, too. I've done a pretty good job of it so far.

[Yes, June, that's why you're constantly only a half-step ahead of trouble.]

[fork_off]

You do seem to have weathered hardships better than most would. I do think you are quite a strong person.

[He does. He also thinks she'd be stronger if she faced her past instead of constantly running from it.]

[littlebattles]

I'm glad we agree.

[And that, she hopes, will let her sidestep every other part of this conversation. With any luck, he'll remember the agreement - the good note - more than the rest of it.]

Was there anything else?

[fork_off]

No, not today.

[He can't think of any more questions, right now. And hopefully he's given her something to think about.]

Unless you have any questions for me?

[littlebattles]

No.

[She says, possibly a little too quickly. She softens the words with a smile.]

No, I'm fine. Thanks, though.

[fork_off]

You're quite welcome. If you ever have any questions, do drop me a line. It goes both ways.

[He hopes that, if he's open with her, she might trust him enough to relax and be more open in return.]
