"Well..." Saturday checks what she's saying as she says it, clearing it of any thoughtless turn of phrase that might catch them up. "You said we're acting like you don't know what's best for you, an' that you know what you need. I thought maybe some of that was more training, 'cause when I offered you accepted, but that ain't worked out so good. So I figure, I musta missed somethin', right? Which means maybe you are right, an' you know what's best for you, an' it's not anything we've offered. So if you can tell me what it is, maybe I can help you get it."

Saturday waits for the answer without trying to anticipate the response. She's learned, painfully, that that's the only way to do. At least, when you really want to reach someone, and not just con them into going along until the goal's been met.

But the first step is the immediate need. Adora doesn't feel listened to, so - Saturday will listen.
