"...you spoke from the heart."

I'm glad you thought so, Miles. And I'm sorry I ever impeached you to do anything -- it's not my place. But that's not what matters.

You see that? That's how you flatter someone.

If it were a matter of winning or proving something, I could do it in an instant through oh so rare and magical powers of being sincere. But as I've corrected him time and again it's not about competing in that way. He's the one who makes it into a contest of dominance.

It's about getting him to speak from the heart. (The fact that he can't is why imitating me never works.) And that's something no one but him can bring about. Least of all by anger. I ought to know that the best of all.

Likewise it is not about fixing RWBY either. For that too is, "speaking from the heart."

The battle I once dreamed of seems so far...

Speaking from heart. Speaking from the fist. What will it take for him to see it?
