[Great Ambition, your opinion of him is so low. Not that he disagrees.
Can't he just request an audience with her on Thursday night and fall asleep in her presence? Then they wouldn't have to worry so much about who gets killed off from their faction. If she's really a superhero, she'll keep her followers safe.
Well, he tried. He nods eagerly.]
It would be a pity to die so close to the end. I'll do everything in my power to survive!
You'd better. You've stuck with me for so long, you've got to get your wish.
[It's a point of pride for her at this point. No one thought she would be able to win at the beginning of this, so now she's going to win and make her followers happy to spite them. :/ ]
[Spite is good, understandable. If she wanted him to win for his personal happiness, he'd be weirded out.]
With you to guide me, I just might . . . You have no idea what this means to me. I know how useless I am, but even I wouldn't carelessly waste this opportunity. You can rely on me.
[she actually flinches at the word "useless," then shakes her head]
...someone important to me once told me that nobody's useless. [...ugh, no, that sounds way to vulnerable. she tries again.] I wouldn't have wasted my time with you if I didn't think you could serve some kind of purpose.
[Ambition, what is the point of throwing those deliberately cold words around after revealing that tender side first? She's really bad at this hot-and-cold business, simply terrible.
Not that he fully grasps what she's conveying. Of course, even the most useless pawn can have some use if the task is simple enough. Mindlessly throwing her power around, anyone can do that.]
You don't have to worry about that. Once this week is over, I'll serve that purpose.

We can stop meeting in the armory on Friday. The last thing we need is for you to stop practicing and then get offed at the last minute.
