I would've been fine with anything not Cavalry and not ice queen. ( not things other people said, essentially. people other than coulson, who can usually be trusted to talk about her. ) I have qiaolian too. ( you know, for things that aren't shield. depending where they finish up, she might start using that journal full-time. )

When I come back, I always hope to see you again. It never seems to work out like I planned, but I wish we'd spent more time together, you and me. ( in whatever direction it goes, including platonically. she's just evenly articulating her thoughts, speaking from a very honest place. it also helps that she doesn't have shame to filter those thoughts through.

and it's not like she's ever been against "bad girl shenanigans" either, in theory. may's proud of them both. they could do a lot worse than each other. )
