I don't require your friendship, but you should understand that you'll be seeing more of me. I've elected to lend my efforts to flight crew and engineering.
[ He's telling her in order to see what she'll do. ]
My sister was lost in the corridors last month. She came back weak, and suffering, but whole. I will be protecting her.
I know her better than you will ever know her, Laura, and no matter how much the illusion of power makes you feel safe, you are not - nor have ever been - the president of me.
[ You will. She doesn't like it - not at all. Doesn't like the helplessness of this place, the complete contradiction that is going from presidency to...whatever she is here.
And he notices the jump to "relationship". He'd implied that, but avoided specific vernacular for a reason. Now he can use it.
Is that why you became a teacher, for the power it gave you? Close that door; pay attention; write ten times: you will not destroy the entire human race.

I have no desire to be your friend, Leoben.

13/1/15 19:16 (UTC)I wouldn't expect you not to. I told you the ship was a danger. Now you've seen it. A pity it came at her expense.
voice;
13/1/15 19:42 (UTC)To suffer is human. She's grateful for the experience, and so am I.
voice;
13/1/15 19:44 (UTC)I'm certain you two are.

He is well. Furious with you, but well.

13/1/15 20:17 (UTC)Hatred is invigorating, isn't it? I've always wondered about that. Kara always seemed at her happiest when she was killing.
But you invigorate him, too, don't you?

13/1/15 22:40 (UTC)[President of the Universe, Leoben. UNIVERSE. Which means you, too.
And relationship could also mean friendship. Don't get smart. Except, y'know, everyone knows they're fraking.]
voice;
13/1/15 23:04 (UTC)What makes you think I forced her to do anything? I suppose you think you understand her, because of the handful of times you met on Galactica?
voice;
13/1/15 23:42 (UTC)From what I understood, you had her ovary forcibly removed.
voice;
14/1/15 00:13 (UTC)We saved her life, because we know how important she is. What she will become.

Go frak yourself.]
