[Diana is sitting in a 24 hour coffee shop in Manhattan and looking a mixture of dissatisfied and hopelessly restless. She's dressed in plain civilians clothes, but the bracelets are still in place.]
It is one of the most frustrating things to suddenly find oneself so tightly confined in even as sprawling a city as Manhattan. Doubly so as it seems there has been little use in us actually coming here.
Save perhaps in alleviating some of the cabin fever that had begun to settle in.
[She taps her foot and flashes a look out the window that is incredibly similar to a caged tiger.]
For one who is an advocate of peace, it occasionally strikes me as strange that so much of who I am, who my people are, centers around violence. At the same time, it can't be denied that the compulsion for violence runs deep within human nature. It seems inappropriate to suppress it. It has always seemed to me much better to understand it, rather than repress it.
And perhaps there will always be a time when it is necessary to have a warrior mindset. When the need to stand up and fight arises...
[She pauses, shakes her head and laughs softly and dry humored.]
I am perhaps merely seeking justification for looking so intently for an outlet.
I believe what I'm failing so utterly in saying is that recent events have... wound me up I suppose is the best phrase. But I am not entierly sure how welcome of a solicitation it is to request a sparring match so late in the evening.
