I suppose that depends on whether she finished assimilating the material from the *first* time.





Even she might have to make a horrible choice occasionally.





I'm guessing he wants his stuff back.





It certainly could be, without some extraordinary interference.








I guess he says those things out loud occasionally to see if they've changed from the usual being so wrapped up in themselves that they don't even hear him. Yuki Shiro would have caught on right away, and refused to let go of it. Instead of just correcting him, she would have derailed the whole conversation with "Wait, hold on...what do you mean 'victory is mine'?"





Faite is always aware of the least worst scenario. Because she doesn't have the near-infinite sight the Hooded Hood does, it's what makes her really conscious of alterations she makes.

Also for the reason that she believes, like Lara, that the Hooded Hood has made himself into a slave to his own plot alterations. Because he makes one change that will require another correction later, which requires another and another. Sure it makes it dangerous to kill him (if he misses a change, all hell breaks loose), but it also puts him in servitude to the timeline. So she's very careful with her changes so they don't require more changes down the line.

What will be interesting to see though is as she becomes closer to and more emotionally tied to the Lair Legion, she might start to change her point of view of what's urgent and important. She might start to become more reckless. The only reason she's resisting that urge now is because she feels like the call to become more reckless is being dictated by the Hooded Hood himself, because he wants a new and tougher rival. She's trying not to fall for it.

For the time being, she's hoping the Lair Legion will just be patient with her choosiness and accept that there's a reason she has to be so careful. If that changes, she'll become very conflicted.





Oddly enough, he might take the least pleasure from doing that to Faite, because she's so accepting of it. If she hands him a victory because of a mistake she made, she'll already have known it long before his victory concludes. Basically, it kills his ability to gloat.





Faite is smart enough when dealing with the Hooded Hood to plan her changes as late as possible, so he has a really hard time predicting what she'll do or when and stopping it. I'm sure it irritates him terribly sometimes, and that's one of the rare moments of satisfaction she gets.
