"You know, I think you're probably one of the smartest people I have ever met. I mean, you're just regularly taking in so much more info from everything around you than most of the population and then sifting through it for anything useful or anything that might become useful. I can't even imagine how busy it gets up there." Kate cups the back of Yelena's head, tugging her in to press a kiss to her forehead.
"Which just makes it absolutely bonkers to me that this is what your brain has picked to be just plain wrong about. Scared of you? When I was literally just a pain in your ass, you were protecting me, and you think I should be scared of you? That just doesn't make any sense, sweetheart, I'm sorry. And as for these hands... no, I can't agree with that either. Look how gentle they are." She reaches out and cradles Yelena's free hand in between hers, tracing her fingertips over it. "Every beyond shitty thing you've been through and now here we are and they're gentle. Seems like a way more important description to me."
