"I don't need to rely on anyone and I don't want to, either." She's fidgeting again now, though at least away from anything breakable. "Relying on other people means they can let you down. Relying on myself means I succeed or fail on my own merits, not because someone took pity on me or screwed up because I made the mistake of trusting them."

"Huh, are you sure it isn't because you're afraid of lettin' other people down instead?" Reno's question was pointed, and he finished off the martini and set it on the far side of the bar. "I get it... used to be the same way, and I finally did wind up letting everyone down. Haven't seen my family since."

She very decidedly looks away at that question, eyes boring a hole into the bar top. She's almost tempted to snap at him again, except he's doing the sharing thing again and she has no idea if that's supposed to make her feel better or worse.

"I'm letting people down whatever I do. Why does it matter if I want to do things myself?"

"I don't know," he shrugged, leaning over the bar to look at her pretty close, "maybe because it sorta helps gettin' confidence in yourself if someone else believes in ya, too."

She looks up as he leans in, quite clearly still waiting for the sting. He's being too nice to her and normally that means she's being set up for something or someone's all set to come ruin the moment.

"I have me. That's all I need." She doesn't sound quite as convinced this time, though.

"Well, kiddo, like it or not, you got me too." And he sits back with a huff, a grin slowly forming.

She's quiet a long moment, not really knowing what to say to that. And it seems, at first, she's not really going to respond; it looks like she's going back to work until he has another drink placed in front of him and a slightly shy smile being offered.

"Here. Just don't tell my sister. She might take it as a sign she has to threaten you again."
