[And just like that , Elizabeth comes right back to practicality, to simplicity, to sense. A neat little circle, reason to emotion to reason, and there's something perfectly-suited about how cleanly she ties it all together.
The common strain of humanity is a crude and unsatisfying thing, to Rosalind, who has always been drawn to the undreamed-of. But after everything that's happened, seeing dozens of dozens of iterations of the girl, there is an unanticipated, quiet pleasure in these quiet suggestions that Elizabeth is exceptional in a way unlike any of the men or women who have brought her to this point.
Perhaps it should not be so unanticipated. Rosalind, after all, has always gravitated toward the exceptional. She glances back at last, pushing lightly off the desk and clasping her hands in front of her.]
Preventing what you do not desire, and pursuing what you do. Not that you seem to have especial trouble with either.
