[ It's really not hard to guess what this is about, although the very fact she seems to care enough to reach out to him is a little odd. Perhaps she's picked up on more than what he said? ]
[ She didn't nose into their conversation. Her only impression is from the initial post and what he'd said to her within it. ]
I didn't think so. I assumed at the most he was just a frustrated superior, but I thought it would be wise to respect your boundaries until I knew for certain.
I recall him being a little more... Strange.
[ The odd thing was that she liked the other version better, even if he was probably a total dick. Something about a dark, biting sense of humor that she finds enjoyable... ]
[ She figures it's probably akin to Zell and Selphie dealing with her... ]
I respect you.
I see. I didn't know.
[ She isn't sure what to say beyond that. It obviously was none of her business but now that she's aware of such a thing it's... well, it's sad. (It would figure that she'd like the crazier one.) ]

Yes, thank you.
[ and as an afterthought; ]
You don't have to be wary of him for now.

That was very considerate of you.
That is one way to put it. When a man loses everything he has to protect, he becomes a beast.
[ It's really both versions that are a dick with a biting sense of humor. The young one is just less crazy and stab-happy. ]

Likewise.
Do not worry about it. It is an explanation, not a justification.
[ It does not excuse what he did. ]

Alright.
Anyway, it seems we're going exploring. If he doesn't come back, he got on my last nerve and I choked him to death.
(That's a joke, by the way. I'm not good at them.)
