What Shepard would say is, "Pyrope's a good kid. She's got a long way to go before she's cut out to be an officer or anything, but she is going to be in charge of something. And whatever that ends up being, it's going to be big. Terezi's going places."
But then, she'd also call Terezi a "Idealistic little shit who doesn't know when to shut up and do as she's told," when she's feeling less formal about it. So, there's that for salt.
Of all the people Shepard's befriended or taken under her wing, her perception of Terezi has probably changed the most. When she first heard of Terezi, (because she usually gets to 'hear about' tributes before ever meeting them,) Shepard thought of her as nothing more than a child. An alien child, sure, but just a kid. As time goes on and their ideologies come more and more into oppositional positions, she's begun thinking of her less like a kid (on the order of Sandy Marko) and more like a younger fellow adult.
And with other adults, even if you disagree with their thoughts and actions, you have to let them make their own beds, and then lie in them, which to Terezi's credit she has absolutely done. So welcome to peerhood, Pyrope, it's not as much fun as it looks like, but Shepard'll back you up through anything, if she can.
Right now, she's mostly just glad to have her as an ally, no matter how many eyes she has to roll or exasperated sighs she has to swallow. She likes it, really (you little shit) and she's missed you. But, as precarious as the situation is, the Initiate needs someone who'll help keep him steady-- an idea that fell right down the shitter with recent events, but nothing's perfect. Maybe together they can each take an arm and haul their mutual lives back into some kind of functional shape, or at least die trying.
