And that's what he needs, isn't it — someone who makes it easy. Someone like Minfilia. Someone he can measure successes against. Someone who, intentionally or otherwise, can produce ways for him to succeed at all.
And that's easy enough: it just means saying how things are, and standing by it, and not giving him the opportunity to insist otherwise. It's the reason he didn't walk away when she simply ignored his every signal that he wanted to: because she treated the situation as though he wasn't, and so he didn't.
So. Good.]
