No!

[with frustration!! he gets the feeling it's not all directed at him??]

I'm asking what you want to do with your life! What you want outside of this stupid destiny thing! That part of your life doesn't go away just because fate decided to play games with you.

[goalsides]

[oh this is such a bad question because he immediately looks confused and also frustrated, but not at her.]

I don't know, Catra. I'm still trying to figure that out.

[supercatty]

[she settles a bit after that, though she's still staring at him with a bit of scrutiny]

Just--

[. . . a huff]

Don't let this stupid destiny thing control you. Okay? Not that I care what you do, or whatever, it's just--

[she has. . . feelings about this kind of thing]

[goalsides]

[there's a pause.]

...this is something I can't really talk about right now. So let's just...not. Okay?

[the "please" goes unsaid, but he's actually visibly uncomfortable with the topic.]

[supercatty]

[scrutinizing him a little bit, but. . . in the end--]

Okay.

[goalsides]

[and he relaxes just slightly.]

Thanks. [he seems to mean it, at least.] ...maybe another time.

[supercatty]

Hey. Sure. It's not like-- you know.

I'm going to press you on it, or anything.

[in fact she may never bring it up again, unless he does. or the conversation naturally goes towards that topic]

[goalsides]

Yeah. [which. thanks. this is how he gets away with never telling anyone anything, so he kind of appreciates that. nevertheless...he does think about that for a moment.]

...it's complicated. It's always been a little complicated, but it got even worse somehow. That's all.
