Tony shook his head at her. "It's comments like that when I'm making an effort to move forward that make me want to give up on this conversation. I'm telling you that you made mistakes like I did and yet you're arguing with me. If you're so worried about the pain and distress you caused simply say that you're sorry and agree with me that neither of us were seeing each other and each other's actions accurately and let's move on."

She really needed to stop assuming! His frown deepened hearing how she summarized what he'd said. "What? No.. Era, I'm trying to be nice to you." He covered his face with his hand. "That's a polite thing to say where I'm from. Like it's normally your job to remind someone of your allergies but a friend might say they'll try to remember so you don't have to keep reminding them. It's not just a promise not to poison you." Although that part did make him laugh a bit. Wow, their standards really were low, weren't they?
