"Then you don't get Siv if you don't see it."

"I am trying to, she's not like any troll.. any woman I've ever met. She seems to yearn for freedom, yet she does work hard sometimes in unexpected ways. "

"And she would die for this Lodge, for her family, for your thick head, or, good god, an innocent."

"My thickhead?" A brow raised "Do I truly seem so obtuse?"

"Well, right now you do."

"Mmm because I dclearly am interested in Siv BECAUSE She's different and I need to embrace that?"

"No, because you can't see how obviously duty-bound Siv is to Rivervale."

"hmm..." he nods "Thank you, maybe I didn't. I should go find her. Thank you for ... well, just thank you" He nods and goes to look for Siv

"Hmph." She collects her backpack and books ot head home.
