"Try it on, I'd like to see." He encouraged, concealing the fact that he had sized her up in their first two meetings. One of the perks of being able to focus absolutely and muster acute observation. The only problem was that he often didn't care enough about something to understand it. "I'll wait here, something about this view's always been captivating. Fact we built all that together." It was outright sentimental when he said it like that. The grace in how he walked impeded slightly by pain, but he stood in front of the glass and looked out regardless, making sure not to touch it. He was absolutely ensnared by watching life tick by from up here, to see every small piece doing something that contributed to a greater whole. Even if on an individual level these contributions could be considered pointless.
While the words and moment were with him, he decided to speak his mind. "All good things take time, Belle. Ramsey was worth it. You are too. Sometimes it's enough to just keep going. That's the achievement." Decades prior, Ramsey didn't exist. It was known by a different name then. When Morreti came into the picture as somebody of consequence, the idea of expanding the Fort with a common pool of resources was only just being tabled. It had several opponents and no ardent supporters. Nobody could see the value of raw accomplishment and collective spirit. To be one of its few supporters, sometimes in a manner that was close to violent, certainly felt rewarding now. Every new block that was built, every new shipment of volunteers, every production line and every chunk of rock carved away for life. It took years, but every small thing done to secure the future built here was worth it. That was the message he was trying to convey, that her current situation didn't define what she could become, and what she could accomplish given time and help.
His posture spoke volumes about how he was at peace with their mission. But since he had his back turned to her, she'd unfortunately have no way of telling what else was on his mind.
