( Not all of it. Perhaps Gideon had simply believed Ray when he'd told her of Rip's state, not having been here and seeing him from the earlier time point. They'd just gotten his memories back, she'd just saved him, yet it hadn't yet happened. That was easier to accept in the initial moment than the history.
Her tone has dipped a little, not quieter necessarily but lower. It's void of the usual emotion that a human may possess in their voice, but her speech also isn't the usual chipperness that Ray has come to know )
I had hoped that talking to him may have helped to bring some of his memories to the surface.
( They had spent an awfully long time together, and Gideon had always been there for him )
But I also know the current state of Rip's mind, and what Eobard Thawne did to him. Such a hope was foolish.
( Impossible. A simple conversation could never help, not with the bitterness and loathing that Rip seemed to possess; emotions that he also directed towards Gideon herself )
