Her gut wrenched at his words. Guilt swarmed over her, and she let her eyes fall. Of course she wasn't really strong, this was all an act for him. She was no more of a crutch than a toothpick was.
Kari was still haunted by her past, and she still suffered from nightmares. She still yearned for revenge, and let her past guide her. Who was she to give advice? Who was she to tell him to move on and forget. Honestly, she just wanted to help him as much as he helped her. And patting him on the back and saying, 'It's gonna be okay,' was not good enough.
The feeling on their skin touching soothed her pain though, and she soon forgot the guilt. It's not like she was lying, it is just so much easier to preach, than to accept your own words. She smiled for him and placed her hand over his. His warm breath caused her cheeks to flare red. She wasn't embarrassed, Kari just wasn't used to this kind of physical emotion.
Before, her whole life was about pain, suffering, misery and anger. She had terrible social skills, as viewed by Kihia and Kyo and Talen ( she likes to break down doors and invade personal space ). But now, she had some one she could open up to completely, partially because he had experienced it all with her. No... now they could open up to each other.
At this point, the sun had begun to set rapidly. Meaning they had been out there for a few hours. Just conversing, and getting to know each other again. And as much as she liked that, she liked food more, and it was dinner time. Her stomach growled badly, "Ummm Naraca," She said with a laugh and a smile.
