She doesn't answer that for the same reason she didn't ask about his way of making sure she wouldn't leave against her will. Blowing up Mike after a single date gave her a good idea what would happen with her father, and that was exactly the sort of thing she wanted to avoid. She wasn't out to hurt or punish her father; she just wanted to be free of the whole mess and have her own life.

"It won't." She nods.

Silas has nothing to add so just takes the moment to look at her.

She looks over to him after a few moments of silence, tilting her head to the side.

"Yes?"

Her lips twitch as she fully turns to face him, surprisingly relaxed. "That doesn't mean you're not thinking about something right now. Or some things."

"I'm always thinking of a hundred things." He pushes off the railing.

"But you know that."

"I do." She nods, gaze following him. "Humor me."

"You could say that." She agrees with a small nod. "What about you?"

He looks frustrated as he shakes his head.

"No. Mr. Amtrum and I had a long talk on the subject. He told me his own goals and causes, enlightening me on the fact that I don't seem to have much of my own."

She's not seen this side of him before; it holds her interest and then some as she listens to him vent. After a moment she nods.

"Well, if you ask me, you're in the right place to find out. You came to Paradigm for a reason. Between that and what's important to you, you probably have a good start."

He grunts, making it rather transparent he's not sure he agrees.

"My goals before were too...limiting. Obviously I want to be the best, no that's a broad focus, not a tangible goal." He frowns.

It's a start, not a solution.

"That makes sense." She shifts, leaning back now instead of forward on the railing. "So you want to be the best. At what?" You can't be the best at everything. Sadly. At this point she's just prompting him to get him to think it through and see where his hiccups are.

"Everything."

Clearly they disagreed.

This is why they get along so well.

"Okay, so take it one step at a time. You want to be the best at everything? What's the first goal on the way to getting there?"

"Them." Again, it's obervation, not a question. She sighs, trying to figure out a way to explain as well as understand.

"Well, I guess it depends. Do you want to be working with people you know will have your back? What if you need someone else because you can't be in two places at once? People follow a leader more than they fight against them."

"Them as in those forced into my squad. Not metas." He clarifies again, despite feeling he shouldn't have to.

"Obviously there are advantages, I'm just not sure it's the best use of my time. Regardless though, it's not as if I have any better ideas...yet."

She blinks, expression neutral. "I wasn't thinking metas. I was thinking those you either don't like or work well with." It's the truth, at least. And it also encompass a lot of people. Probably.

"Who knows, maybe doing it this way for now will give you some ideas." She shrugs, knowing better than to mention more.

"Ah. Well yes. Piper has psychological issues. Angel is a moron. Eliott may prove to be useful, at least."

She was right though, it encompasses most people. He nods in agreement with the last part though.
