Seems to happen to you a lot, doesn't it. I'm pretty sure that's the exact same line I hear almost every week.
[ She lowers the folder for him to take but as he does so, she reaches out and loops her one arm around his shoulder companionably. Suspiciously so. Oh, right, because she's still berating him. ]
[Oh, he's not sure if he likes this sort of companionable from her. It seems more like she's holding him to keep him from running away than to be comforting. But Jon takes the folder and clutches it close so she can't take it away again.]
It wasn't a witch. It... it was someone new. Someone I, er... was warned about by Vash. I didn't want to go over to him. I just... it felt like I needed to go and sit next to him on the park bench. He can control people.
[ Mmmm too bad, this is your consequence. Maybe think twice about calling her next time? ]
I'm sorry, let me try to understand this: you knew of a man who could control people and you felt like you needed to go sit next to him and possibly provoke him. And you assumed that wouldn't come back to bite you?
I'm saying, I think he made me go and sit with him, Ava. I tried to pretend I didn't know him, but it just got... awkward. And then I sort of... compelled him. He turned it into a Statement, himself. I was just asking a question.
I don't think so. I think the people with the blue charms are keen on messing about with the ones with green. He might have seen mine and just decided to do something with that.

But he...compelled you in turn to come sit with him. Was he aware of who you were and what you could do?

So he knows now. About the whole...Statement thing. What did he tell you? What was he willing to give up?
