( he agrees, because he's not going to say — i love you so much, forever and always for the first time over text like a chump.
in any case, it's a returning centralized issue, how alina talks about herself. there's too many invisible landmines for paul to maneuver through in order to soothe her anxieties away effectively, but at least he's learned they're there, and when to move forward with trepidation. at least he knows there's some sore spot there, and can avoid prodding the tender skin as best he can. still, one thing does need to be cleared up: )
You are special, Muad'dib.
( because it's ridiculous to think otherwise. has she ever met herself? paul knew she was special within a second of knowing her, his pulse rushing like the rapids of caladan until the steel glint of her letter opener. )
