[ She would ask what it is exactly about her that makes him think her mad, but she puts that aside for now in favor of answering his statements.
Perhaps it's a discussion they can have later over drinks. ]
I suppose I had not thought it fully through, no.
But if we are to drink in private to save the residents of the Crystarium thinking me mad, I know my friends will not choose to judge me, however "scandalous" you may choose to see it.
Leaping first and then looking, how terribly surprising.
[ there's a loooooooooooooooooong pause before the next text ]
It is not that I doubt your perception of your friends [ it is ] but I imagine the doubt and mistrust for yours truly is no small hurdle to cross.
