:::The tone in her voice stiffened and got colder:::
I have no choice. It's my job. And it's Kal's too...he just didn't realize it.

*Tavin shook his head*
That isn't it. Why don't you be truthful with me. There's something else, isn't there.

I- I mean it. I owe it to my people... even at the cost of-

:::He wasn't saying anything now... and the tone in his voice didn't give much away... was he angry with her? Did he hate her the way Luke did now? Surely any trust he had for her was gone, but if she could see his face maybe she'd be able to tell for sure:::
:::Slowly her eyes moved up to look into his, uncertain of herself, the only way she hated to be:::

Did you have more that you wanted to talk about?

:::that was the LAST thing she expected out of him. Her eyes went from sad and uncertain to wide and confused:::
y- you're not upset with me?

Well- I just confessed that I lied to you...
:::not that she was trying to shoot herself in the foot but:::
About something pretty important. Or-
:::How silly of her... he never really cared...she looked away again:::
I'm sorry. I must be wasting your time. :::But her voice wavered more than it did the first time as she said it outloud:::

*Tavin shook his head*
I don't think you're wasting my time. There was something important that you wanted to tell me, and you did. You lied. But my getting angry at you wouldn't help matters. At least not that I see. Because in the end, its you who has to live with the effects that your actions have. If you can do so, then that's that. But if you can't, then its up to you to make amends. My getting angry or not won't affect that.

:::Her gaze lifted back up to his. She understood perfectly what he was saying, but couldn't believe she was hearing it. How was it possible, for someone to be so understanding? She'd never met anyone who could say such a thing to her and mean it:::
Why... why are you so kind to me?

:::She closes her eyes so they wouldn't shed any tears and smiles sadly. Her arms reached out and wrapped around him, even though she promised herself she would stop pretending as though it were possible:::
:::She rested her cheek on his chest:::
Thank you... Beloved.

:::She stayed that way, loving the delicate preasure of his hand on the back of her head:::
All this time I was worried that you'd hate for it the way everyone else does... I should have known better. You're not like any of them, Beloved.
:::Somehow when she thought it was over, just when she thought she was at her strongest the tears started coming down, hot against her face:::
You're so kind... I was just so afraid. Everyone else...hates me now. And it's all my fault. :::She let go of it, hiding the tears into his shirt:::
