Patrick: !!
Poe: …
Bianca: Miranda, listen to yourself!
You’re talking about Patrick like he’s a thing you can own. When he’s a . . . a thinking being! Would you treat Poe like that? You can’t have made him black without thinking about this. Some white Masters might do it unconsciously, but —
Miranda: “But” . . . I’m black, so I have to think the way you want me to?
Well, gosh, sorry to let you down. But I’m just as much white as I am black, and, shockingly, capable of thinking this through for myself!
You can’t think of Beings as equal to humans. No matter what they look like. They’re more like computers with intuition. Or very smart pets! If the most caring thing my father had ever done for me was give me a normal dog, and that dog got lost, would you try to keep it?
What if I’d had the dog since I was nine? What if it was the only thing that looked out for me after my mother died?
You’re the one acting like you own him! I’m the one who has a right to him!
Did the dog get lost or did it run away? Very different, Miranda.
Not for Miranda. Whatever her father did to release control of Patrick, it was done without her approval and behind her back, so it don’t count.
Therapy, Mandy. It’s come a long way since Freud. You are beyond needing to look into it, honey.
Either way, he was set free and didn’t stay with Miranda. I’m with SS on this one…although we don’t know what her father did to make Pat go. For all we know, he was cast out.
Either way, he doesn’t want to come back.
Bianca, I hope you remember that you were the one who offered visitation times right before Miranda had Poe beat the shit out of Patrick. Please bring that up and start issuing some orders for Patrick to ignore the therapy-needing twit. Or use my personal favorite from Gargoyles “act like you would if you were never put under a spell.”
But given how resigned Poe looks about the whole situation, I think it is one Being to one Master ratio and he full expects to be kicked aside in favor of Patrick. Despite all of Miranda’s earlier “I chose you” declarations.
Yes, that. Poor Poe. :(
Blimey! Was NOT expecting racial aspect switch!
Oh, Mandy, sweetie. You can’t make Patrick love you by taking him this way. All you’re going to do is hurt him–just like your father.
Who I am very much starting to think IS Cohen, after all. That “smart pets” mentality just screams of him.
Also, side question: Are Mandy’s eyes BLACK black because of artistic license, because that is her “aura” color, or because of some plot point not yet revealed?
Mandy just happens to have black eyes, the same way Bianca has pink eyes (and purple hair). Anime genetics, no secret plot twists forthcoming.
*Blink*
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but damn, Miranda made a damn good point about beings and humanity.
Still agreeing with KLC, the girl is beyond rationalizing she doesn’t need help.
