[Wow. That's a whole lot to take in one sitting. He flinches as she screams at him- but honestly, he's kind of glad for it. He's watched her forced cheerfulness tear Rapunzel apart before now, he knows pretending everything is fine and charging on ahead and putting every single damn person before ends up with a bigger mess than when you started.

So he's quiet. He lets her rant, and he genuinely, honestly hopes it helps her. When she's done, he's quiet for a moment longer.

Do you feel better now? Getting that off your chest, I mean?

[He hopes so. He keeps his own voice measured, calm. A part of him wants to yell, but that won't accomplish anything at this point.]

Fine. You're right. This world, or any world, isn't fixed by hugs and kisses. It's fixed by people sacrificing themselves time and time again because that's just how things are. And sure, fine. I push myself too far too. I still stand by the fact I'm doing it to fix the wrongs I've done- it's not completely altruistic. Not like you, anyway. But fine.

So I guess that puts us at a stalemate.
