I would no more suggest you become a weakling than I would suggest my cousin stop practicing with his knife. Being strong is part of who you are, and what makes you Vriska. I would not be so arrogant as to say you should be less than who you are. But I do not see trusting another as a weakness. To know that there is someone who will keep your secrets, who will look out for you in times of need - that allows you to be strong.

[The question is unexpected, and she takes a moment to think on it.]

There is a small part of me which does, if I am honest with myself. I have thought much over my actions of the event, and I find that they stem from thoughts I have had, but to which I had not given voice. I think, should such an attack be planned well and stand a good chance of success, it would be foolish to let the opportunity slip past. I am not a violent person by nature, but I do not trust them - not after they have taken so many for whom I care deeply from me. But I fear to attack now would only lead to the temporary death this place brings, and to the loss of something which may be invaluable to us.
