"I see your point." It was a very valid one, and Yelena has to take a good few minutes to turn it over in her head before she answers. She isn't sure if that is a sign the honesty thing is wearing off, or if the honesty thing is just also a little bit stumped by philosophical discussions.
"But do you ever feel like anyone actually told you the full terms, or ever will? I don't. And I am not going to not do anything or not have anything for who knows how long because someone may show up and claim I owe them something, they could do that anyways, for transporting me here in the first place. I will just fight them then."
Comparatively, it's easier to reply to the next bit, although what she's going to say might be fully nonsense. She is winging it, now. No, that is a lie, really, she was always winging it. "You are looking at it all wrong. If the goal is trying something new, and you fail at whatever it is, you have still technically succeeded because you have never failed at doing that thing before."
"Why not?" That should be a good enough answer, in her opinion, but she can feel herself compelled to continue anyways. So much for wearing off. "Attention can be nice. It can also be horrible, obviously, but. And you're interesting. Like a little hedgehog made up of contradictions. That is not meant to be an insult."
