He'd defend his position til he was blue in the face... And if Quinn couldn't accept his opinion as it was then that was on her.. He hoped she could see that they too would have differences in opinion and that it didn't mean that they couldn't be friends..

Now her mouth hung open in shock, for just a second, but it was enough. He'd chipped away at her carefully maintained stoic shell. "No truth in fiction!?" Unbelievable. There was more truth in fiction than in his precious facts. Anyone could write down bare details about anything, and call them facts, or manipulate them to suit their own agendas. Context mattered. And in that way, facts could be just as fictitious as fiction.

"Fiction shows us truths we can't get from facts; truths about ourselves, about humanity, about magic, about the world and universe. It shows us our nature. Fiction," she spoke very carefully and very calmly right now, "contains more truth than your tardigrade-sized brain could ever fathom." Fiction was not rubbish, but she was starting to consider the possibility that he might be. "Dilate your brain, Reese Prichard."
