Yes. "Ego", that's what Indigo meant to say. She is innocent, sshhhhh.

Well, like he said, they don't really know each other that well. Maybe if he opens up a little, they can forge a more personal connection.

Meanwhile, Indigo's still angry, but her tone is clearly also full of genuine concern and care. It's a tone closer to an angry mother or sister who just witnessed her loved one doing something stupid and painful, rather than a bully who just wants to tear their victim down.

"I know ya didn't ask fer help, 'cause yer head's stuck so far up yer own... ego that ya don't think ya need it! I'm tryin' ta tell ya, perfection don't exist and there's nobody, not even you, that can do everythin' on their own. If that weren't the case, diversity as a concept wouldn't even exist."

New skills are always nice to learn (though funnily enough, she already knows how to cook), but she was talking about improving her personality. A concept that is likely foreign to him.

"Alright, I'll give ya that much... but let me ask ya, when ya realized people were gettin' offended, did ya ever stop and consider their feelin's, put yerself in their shoes and try ta figure out why? Or did ya just dig in yer heels an' dig yerself deeper?"

She shakes her head.

"If I thought it was too late for ya to change an' improve, I wouldn't be botherin' ta argue with ya like this. And ya know what else? I don't think pumpin' up yer own ego by puttin' everybody else down really makes ya happy. I've got more faith in ya than that."

Misplaced faith, perhaps, from a blind idealist who just wants to believe the best of everyone. But she's been around the universe a few times, and she's pretty sure her idealism isn't blind.
