Allison will let her choose the speed of some of those things, without ever pretending that she doesn't know or lying just to go along with Vanya's response to turtling from it or drowning it out. It was a lot, and they'd all had months with what Vanya was back to only days of knowing. Vanya had heard them all out the first night. She could take as long as she wanted with the other part of it (as long as it remained true that no one else was being hurt by it).
As long as that remained true, Allison was pretty sure she could handle Luther. That he couldn't and wouldn't stop her. Disagree and warn all he might like, but not beyond it.
Do you need his permission to do it?
Yes, it's a little pointed in her head, even if the text is as flat and silent as ever, because it's the last thing Vanya's ever needed from any of them. Extra-Ordinary was proof enough of that. As was that while Vanya didn't want to look in the direction of what had happened, what she'd done, she was talking about it -- and Luther's opinion of it, her, her prospects -- as a direct reflection of those actions.
