[she hopes those words he says are true. it's one thing to assume that they did, but it's another to have that closure, that i know. similarly to when she lost vision, painful as it was, hearing his last words being that he loved her brings her solace now—after thanos, after westview.

wanda knows of the impossibility of getting such a thing in this world, even if she clings to the idea that one day—perhaps—steve might return, or even pietro could, if dead men like tony stark can be brought back. she dreams and wishes for the impossibility of her perfect life, thanks to the summoning, bringing the real vision, and even her sons, no binding to the hex involved.

she brings the glass close to her lips and takes a sip from it, then lets the cup rest on the table.]

Do you ever wonder about the past of those Summoned? I may have shown you kindness, but perhaps I am not someone you should entirely consider as just that.

[steve knew about her past and her mistakes, and he never judged her. but it was steve rogers, perhaps the kindest man on earth.]

[ It's a sudden question with a clear warning in it, that Wanda is perhaps not all that she's made herself out to be in this first meeting. Not that Thancred would ever assume he could obtain a true sense of someone from one conversation, but he does consider himself a decent judge of character.

More than that, he knows all too well the mistakes people can make as they continue down their path, and he isn't here to render judgment for such things. He's failed himself, far too many times, to expect anyone else to be without their flaws. ]

Of course I wonder. That's natural, isn't it? Yet I've been through enough to know that you can't expect someone to always be their best self. I've certainly gone through my ups and downs.

[ He's not giving exact details, and he doubts that Wanda will either. They've shared plenty with each other already, but how deep do they want to dig when she's already navigating through a rough patch?

After a pause, he cants his head until he can meet her downcast eyes and then lifts his drink up toward her, from across the table. ]

We've come out on the other side. Might we drink to that, at least?

[thancred may never truly understand just how much his words mean to her, nor how much they certainly sound like something steve would say. it brings comfort where perhaps she didn't expect to find any, and there is solace in the fact that, somehow, tendrils of fate dragged her here in this moment, in this place, to meet a man that reminds her so much of the one she considered her brother at a time.

she picks up her glass and nods, taking a sip.

it's more about the gesture in the horizon.]

Thank you. You didn't need to — spend time with me or be nice to me, after I basically intruded into your space. I won't forget your kindness.
