I smiled a little.  “Well, that’s good.”

She smiled back.  “You know, you’re not what I expected.”

…fuck. I think I might ship it.

Ships aside, though, this is a very good line. Taylor might take it the wrong way, though, since she’s concerned about her subordinates not seeing her as a strong, inhuman leader.

But I don’t think a strong, inhuman leader is what she needs to be. She needs to be a competent, human leader.

There’s a difference between strong and competent.

“I’m not what I expected, frankly,” I said.  I turned my attention back to the cabinet, found the dustpan and stood up.

Heh.

A good line answered with another good line.

“That reminds me-”  She paused.  “Nevermind.”

…hm?
