They never are!
:::She clentched harder with the hand that she kept on his arm. The energy from doing so was drawn from her in a way that the rest of her body followed and she burried her forhead somewhere at his upper arm, not being tall enough to reach his shoulder:::
:::She nearly whispered, but her voice was once more, very unlike her character, full of gravity::: It's my job as their princess to make them happy and to show them how to enjoy their lives... but I'm spending all of my energy being angry at everyone. Can't you at least tell me why I'm going to lie to my people? To let them keep being happy?

Kara....
*Tavin held her gently by the shoulders, facing her, looking her straight in the eyes*
... who said that you've been lying to anyone? Did you ever think that the Cora you've met might well be from BEFORE that? Have you considered that not only time, but reality might be altered here? That pulling from ONE future may actually not be the same as ANOTHER future? Kara, there are a great many things that may have happened. What's important, now, is that you know this: You are NOT living a lie. Do you understand?

:::Kara knew that she couldn't begin to grasp the full understanding of how the brink worked, and she hoped that everything Tavin was saying could be the case.
But here he was telling her straight forwardly, that she was not being dishonest to her people. He was saving her from that burden with just a few words. He truly was an angel of mercy. Just a few more words, and the weight she'd carried from her last visit would be lifted:::
...do you swear?
:::she looked back into his eyes, beggingly:::

*Tavin leaned in and whispered into her ear*
On my life, I so swear.

:::Kara could barely restrain herself any longer. She wanted him this way, to speak to her softly, to make promises to her. It was all she could do to stop herself from insulting him any more than she was about to. Kara placed her hands on the back of his neck and pressed her lips, pink from the rush of longing, on the cheek he put closest to her:::
Beloved...

*Tavin stood up and smiled*
Well, now. What was all that about?

:::Her hands only came down slowly as he drew away from them:::
I'm sorry... I couldn't control myself.
:::but the tone in her voice sounded less like remorse than the words implied and more like a question of acceptance:::
You were so close to me, and you've made me feel so much better...

I'm glad that I could make you feel better. I really don't like to see people hurt.

:::she wondered if he really didn't understand her come on. It seemed rather obvious:::
Well... you are very kind. I would give so much to repay you, but I don't have very much that is worthy of you.
:::She inched in, as though testing water:::

Worthy of me? I'm not God, you know.

No... you're not.
:::She inched closer still, and reached out again, placing her hand to his upper arm:::
You're something much more real... You're some one who incites much more feeling in me, not to mention my senses. It's so much easier for me to display my gratitude.
:::Kara began to feel like herself again...but in a way that felt so more meaningful. As though it was all just to lead up to this:::

:::She was not accustomed to having to play with her food like this. No one ever had the audicity to try to bate her into a trap. But she'd played the game herself so many times. If she told him straight out how she wished to thank him... she imagined he'd give her a speach about not wanting it.:::
:::But he was not any ordinary man, she anticipated it, in a way... she was the prey now, and each move had to be the right one if she was going to come out on top:::
Anything you could want from me... I'd give it to you, Beloved.
