[Oona is quiet for a long time. On one hand, she really appreciates that optimism in the face of everything. It might be just what most people need, someone cheerfully telling them everything will be alright an honestly meaning it.
On the other hand, the bitter cynic in her tells her that attitude will break, eventually. It always did, after all. (A part of her also wants to cruelly ask, if he saved their world, then how come it's supposed destroyed now? But Oona will not be that cruel this time. She's too tired to be cruel.)]
...Admirable, suppose. Truly, I hope you do not lose that optimism. There is... Eh, there is too little of it. Someone must be smiling even when it is rough, suppose you could be one to do it, if you feel so strongly about it.
But, that is big strain too, you know? You must not break under that pressure, no matter how hard it pushes on you to stop smiling. [She's not sure what she said makes a lot of sense, but hopefully he understands her meaning.]
