[It takes Alex a while to figure out how, exactly, to respond to this. It's not that he doesn't know exactly what he's feeling. He's proud, intensely so, and satisfied, because he knew it was coming. Just because they don't always see eye to eye doesn't mean he doesn't know the kind of good she can do.]
[She can do more good than is quantifiable, he's pretty sure.]
[The problem is just saying it right, and he's pretty sure, after some thought, that he can't. So he just writes it down and slips it under her door and hopes it makes sense.]
Anya,
First thing is I'm glad you're staying. Second thing is I'm proud of you, for what that's worth. Third thing is I know I never knew him as well as you did but I'm pretty sure Pietro would be really proud of you too. Even if he was a jerk about it on the surface he'd still be proud.
The last thing is something I was going to say anyway but I guess this is as good a time as any. I'm sorry I got so mad. I still don't agree with what you did but it's not up to me to decide what you do or protect you from the world, or worlds, or whatever, and just because you don't agree with somebody doesn't mean you don't lovelike love them.
