The Initiate is rambling, obviously confused as much as others are often confused by him. Still, Kankri gets the shape of what he's saying. He feels quite sorry for the indigo in that moment. He's so...lost. Unsure of where to go. And now he's learned what it's like not to be Alternia's idea of a good troll, and instead of forcing himself to go back to how he was he's exploring it more. Kankri can certainly get behind that. Respect that.
"All right," he says gently. "Makara it is, then."
He's silent for a few moments, sipping at his tea. Then: "I don't think being a strong person has to mean being hard or violent. Perhaps that's how it is for some people, but- I think it takes quite a lot of strength to simply resist, too. To endure, and not be ruled by those expectations. More than people who think strength comes from violence can know. Certainly more than the Capitol gives us credit for."
