( she means the world of humans, Lila, trust that Diana would never imply there was no place for women. what with being from an island full of them... take me there someone, please........
knowing as many languages as she does, Diana does understand what freak means. her eyebrows lift, ever so slightly, though she seems more bemused than offended. )
I would never have thought to be called a freak would be a compliment, ( she muses, but she shakes her head with a wry smile. ) I suppose there is some sisterhood in both being different. What exactly makes you a 'freak'?
( good for you, grandma, getting up and up with the new-fangled youth talk!!! )
[It's a safe thing to say, although her father wouldn't think so. He'd say it's an unnecessary risk to say something like that to a relative stranger. But Lila thinks she's got the measure of Diana now. Besides, she doesn't have to give details.]
People are afraid of things they don't understand, things that are different. So I'm a freak. I don't know about sisterhood, though.
That I have seen the truth of. ( it was a part of why Steve was always trying to cuckhold her into normality, to try and steer her away from showing exactly who and what she was. she knows now that he was trying to protect her, in his own way. perhaps he was trying to protect those unready to face the abnormal, too.
as for not knowing sisterhood, that is a sad idea. ) It is the way of the Amazons. We are a family, and we all fight as one. That is where our strength lies. ( there's something sad about that, since Diana well knows that when it came to show that strength... she'd been the only one willing to leave and brave it.
the sad lilt to her words will go without explanation, for now. ) It was good to meet you, Lila. Fellow 'freak'. ( still trying that one on for size. Diana finds she doesn't dislike it, with context. )
