[He actually does listen to her. And he can sort of see the points she’s making. However…]

You think you’re not kind?

[He sounds amused and vaguely incredulous.]

You couldn’t stand to watch a complete stranger fall victim to the elements on an alien planet. A stranger who, as it turned, you don’t even like. And even after he offended you, you continued to try to help him. You only gave up after he pushed you to the limit of your patience.

[Yes, he found her patronizing and called her on it, but he’s not going to deny that she was coming from a place of kindness. He even tried to give her that credit at the time. It might have been part of what he found irritating to begin with, if he’s honest, he doesn’t know how to deal with that sort of thing.]

I don’t know what your world is like. I’m sure you’ve dealt with pain. But you’re not as hard as you think you are. Or maybe as you wish you were. You still have a good heart.
