Colette gently cupped Basil's cheek. "Basil, I do not zink zat zis is an upgrade. I zink... zat spending time as a person just let me... break zrough. All my life I have focused on trying to be more human, I ignored ze possibilities. Once I was human I realized zat zere were many zings zat I missed. I zink zat zis is just my way of separating ze two sides of me. Perhaps ze furzer I push myself to be inhuman, ze better I will be at being human... no?"
She squat down just a bit, to be closer to him. "You heard what Robin has said. It may have hit me harder because of how my mutation manifested, but eventually you will begin to feel ze effects as well. Maybe you will have a breakzrough of your own, oh I hope zat you do. But if you do not, zen maybe zat simply means zat you must practice more instead. I have been doing zis since I was born, you have not.
"Whatever ze outcome, zis does not change what we have togezer. One week ago, you were prepared to live a comfortable life wiz me by your side, in a place zat we can call our own. Is zis not true today? It is true for me, and will be no matter what ze outcome is... so long as I have you."
