[ Ah, he doesn't like it... Well, that's to be expected really, otherwise they wouldn't be having this conversation at all. ]

My desire is to point out to you that you hold a great deal of sway with the other hosts. That even beyond the symbiote, your actions and their consequences are never yours alone.

[ This might be the slightest hypocritical. Ilde is quite reserved with her actions and their consequences, but then she is a different sort to him, to most. ]

It may be time to consider yourself less a friend and more a leader, for the good of the group. But... the choice is yours.

[ She can't make him take his influence with the others more seriously, she can only suggest it. ]

Though, if you continue to involve my brood my opinion may become less fair-handed.

[ Ren is always a category unto himself, but... who had come running to save Sam Wilson from his choices but Steve Rogers. ]

[ She looks at him, thinking that question is strange and rather useless. ]

The way you might lead has little to do with me, aside from what you might involve my broodmates in. But they, of course, have their own minds and are free to make their own choices, despite my protests or censure.

[ This is true. Mostly. She certainly lets Ren move freely... She is a bit more possessive with Steve, not yet certain he has what it takes to survive, and in a way she longs to shield him from all this. From Bucky. From Sam. She has done little to act upon this, tries to show respect, but as the size of their brood shrinks, the pressure inside of her to protect him grows darker.]

As for myself... I would not be in your purview.

[ He would never lead her. She is not asking him for her sake. She is asking him to take the reigns on a group of emotionally volatile men and women, and rather than indulging their weaknesses, embolden them to be a stronger, more focused group. United in trust and respect for him. Perhaps the Prince would be a better choice, but he has already refused the honor. ]

They already like you and respect you, that's the use.

[ She doesn't know the turn of phrase 'path of least resistance' but it's the one she would use if she did. He is the easiest fit, despite his claims that others might be better. ]

Some structure and communication, is the use.

[ She doesn't ask him why he's so suspicious of her. She doesn't want to hear the answer, nor does she want him to focus on it long enough to figure out how to articulate it. ]

You cannot tell me it isn't sorely needed.

[ The reluctance to agree is a reaction from him she is becoming familiar with. That she speaks sense to him, but from a point of view he does not wish to condone. Just like Steven, how unsurprising. She smooths a wrinkle out of her dress. ]

I'm sure that's all anyone could ask.

[ Phrased like she has no request at all, as though she really just wanted to bring the concept to his attention, with no expectation of result. The nonchalance is studied, but sits naturally within her bearing. ]
