"I have survived far more than a couple of insults tossed at me," Robin replied, obviously still taking it all in stride still. He had never really considered being unkind to her. No one else had seen her in that tower, and he understood too well what it was like to be alone.
He never took what she said personally because of that, he supposed, along with the fact she had been so quick to protect a boy she hadn't even really known before. Actions had always spoken more to him than anything else.
He understood things weren't so simple with the others. He had not seen much of what happened. What he had seen, however, was the slow shift of people's opinions, whether she noticed it or not.
"Anyone else's opinions are all the more reason to prove them wrong - and you were. People were noticing," he added. Of course, that wasn't entirely a problem here any longer, which is why he pointed out, "And now we are here in this strange city where few know you, and you have the chance to decide the kind of person you want people to see you as."
