But I'm really not having this conversation with you.
The deal was to stall the information to get more information. I couldn't give her Loki because everyone knows Loki got here in February. It doesn't take much to think about it.
But you're making a mountain out of it when I would have sent anyone to you. And I have recommended before that people talk to you about the previous City. I always suggest you, regardless of the party involved. It's not my fault that Freddie Lounds came to me and struck up a deal (however temporarily) because she couldn't make a list of these relevant people before.
But you're determined to keep beating this dead horse! I'm not!
because you keep trying to justify it while admitting it was done with ulterior motives but the horse is suddenly dead when that is actually confirmed so you deflect her away from yourself in a vain hope that it will keep her quiet but when the only thing it actually achieved is making me angry you dont want to hear it
consequences kate!! thats what shitty actions get you!
information which you havent given and so probably havent gotten either instead youre just talking circles over how you used me as a stalling tactic that must not have gotten you very far as if maybe that couldnt be what ive been talking about from the beginning
I was trying to buy time so that I could get information before Freddie Lounds ruined it for the rest of us. But you're so narrowly focused on our rivalry that you can't see that. I didn't give Freddie Lounds the tip! She had the tip when she came to me for more information, and I saw an opportunity. I'm not talking circles around you.
of course you arent talking circles around me youre talking circles around the cause of my grievance and i never thought you gave her the original tip even you know better than that stop being obtuse
youre calling my focus narrow but i sincerely doubt that same reason had no bearing on why im the one you used to buy your time no matter how you rationalize it as a legitimate recommendation i dont appreciate being used as your stall if you had to point her at anyone you could have used one of your friends since billy actually visited the porter when you actually work with someone instead of attempting to manipulate a situation in your favor it tends to leave more room for coordination he might have actually tried keeping her attention instead of sending her packing almost immediately for the nuisance she is
its little wonder this ended up backfiring on you but youre not about to practice the clarity necessary to see how it went wrong or the empathy to recognize how it might leave others feeling wronged
She didn't ask for someone who visited the Porter. She asked for someone from the previous City. Billy and I don't remember our previous experiences. But you know who does? You! You know who lectures people when they make the slightest of mistakes in understanding the previous City? You! Lots of you! In fact, I'm a little tired of it.
It would have backfired whether or not I sent her to you, because she was determined to make that mistake regardless of what I tried to do. Don't pin this on me, Kanaya. I acted quickly to try to mitigate damages, and you were too blinded by your issues with me, and you're still too blinded.
Anyway, have a nice holiday season. And wish me luck in actually getting what I need about the Porter.

you know who doesnt care to give information of any sort to freddie lounds also me! if youre so tired of it you shouldnt have invited it i certainly havent given you any kind of lecture in months in fact i generally avoid you if i can help it or did you forget that i tried being civil last time we spoke nice to know that effort was wasted im pinning this on you because you fucked it up and are too busy projecting a rivalry on me to accept the fault try showing some respect and it might be extended to you also but someone already given reason to dislike you isnt going to take kindly to being used no matter how you use your grudge to justify it and thats all i have to say
[She sighs upon the reception of this text. While she had briefly thought about the combative quality of a conversation between Freddie and Kanaya, that hadn't been her sole motivation. If anything, it served as a last thought. Kate doesn't want to defend herself, but she does want to make it clear that sending Freddie to Kanaya was not some act of using her or revenge.]
I didn't set out to use you. I do, however, have my reasons for not explaining all of them, and it has to do with some circumstances that I'm not going to discuss. Because of these, I hoped to buy time so that no one, including myself, was ignoring this information or running forward blindly. It seemed important, and Freddie seemed like she'd cost all of us information that could change all of our lives. I will not clarify my additional reasons, but please trust that they weren't malicious.
And I'm sorry.
[Kate is not going to explain that she hoped to keep the information from Tony, who she believed would use it maliciously or actually ensure no one but him knew anything. That she had to give his name eventually anyway was a point of frustration, but so soon after the Cassie reveal to him and how he still felt entitled to anything with her team, she felt it wise not to only look out for those close to her, but everyone else as well.]
[ she wasn't going to respond anymore, but the apology actually seems sincere. it wouldn't do to ignore that, even if she's still mad.
ultimately, it still takes her five minutes to type the answer. ]
thank you in the future when you need me to stall someone to buy you time please at least give me fair warning that way i can settle into a proper rambling mood

[Though Kate is idly wondering when Kanaya doesn't speak at length about things.
She even spoke at length in these texts.
Is there a non-speaking-at-length mode for Kanaya Maryam????]
