She'd spent so much time trying to reach out to him in a way that she rarely had to anyone else, trying to build up that relationship--but it wasn't a relationship that he wanted. And she couldn't reach out like that anymore. ]

I wouldn't mind talking. Um--To you. Not Nathaniel. Not that I dislike him, he's just--He's very stern-looking. And he's mean to you.
[ He is occasionally so bad. But the meaner he is the more Alistair makes sure he deserves it. A vicious cycle. ]
All right. Talk to me, then? When you want. And I'll stop running the other way every time I see you. [ Not that he has literally done that. Or only occasionally literally. ]

[ Said as dryly as possible. ]
Very well, then. I'll try talking to you later, if you don't run.
