And what of the nights I use it to save your sorry hide? [ that dude was totes going to murderate your pretty goldilocks self, edward. she totally rescued you just now. ]
Oh I'm well aware what you've got in terms of depth, Kenway. [ She leans in a little, and there's a sincerity in the teasing. More than anyone, Mary has faith in a side of Edward that isn't often seen or known about. There's more to the man than the derp, self-serving pirate or the witty quips and fuck it all attitude. It's all a matter of his own choices, she knows, and there's no point in her pushing him into them, but that won't mea she'll be nice about it either. ] But it'd be a nice change to see you show it in some other interest than what's to line your pockets.
[ She watches him for a moment, kicking a boot up on a nearby chair, and Mary takes a moment to snatch a bottle off a passing maid to take a sip. Usually when she gets preachy, it's in short boughts at choice moments, but they're sitting around shooting the shit, and he did ask, so. ]
I consider hard work, real work, done in action, and choices you'd rather not make. Earning things like respect and trust, just for the value of 'em. [ She points the rim of the bottle towards him for emphasis. ] Provin' yourself instead of deciding you're entitled. No ulterior motives included.
[ none of this 'i'll warn these guys if i get some keys to this treasure out of it'. She's not really talking about herself at this point, because it's obvious enough that Edward has her respect, and of all the shit he's done, somehow still not lost it.
