I understand, though.

It's okay to be upset. I just don't want to be your enemy. [ She glances at him. ] I'm not your enemy. I'm your friend. I want to help you.

You were never my enemy.

[ He doesn't want her to think that, not at all. ]

And things aren't so simple as that anyway, now. Maybe they never were, and I'm just now seeing that.

[ She shakes her head. ]

They're not...

Even I agreed to come here and... and sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice.

I don't think I did, sometimes.

You wanted their help. That's a reason to do this. You were trying to save your people.

[ He understands that. She'd had a very definite choice on her hands, and in his view, she'd taken the one that anyone would. The best of people will still save their own, given the chance. ]

Do you regret it?

[ She shrugs. ]

Sometimes. I think I put my planet in more danger than did good for them.

No.

[ He shakes his head at that. He won't have her believing that's her fault. ]

They came to you. If you hadn't said yes, they'd have found a way to make you say yes. Your planet was in danger before you even saw they were there.

[ She looks up at him as he says all of that and smiles gently at him. He hates them, and he's still trying to comfort her.

She throws her arms around him to hug him tightly. ] Yeah... you're right. They had started to say that when I agreed....

Thank you.

[ He does hate them. He has to reconcile that feeling, now. But deep in his heart, he still does.

It's just that Alina's his friend. And he really doesn't think there was any way to help her ending up here. At least she got full disclosure before she agreed. At least she wasn't stupid enough to say yes without thinking.

He hugs her back, tightly. ]

It's nothing to thank me for. It's just the truth, you shouldn't blame yourself.

At least we got something we needed... [ Something he couldn't get anywhere else. ]

When are you going to see your father?

[ Maybe something he shouldn’t have gotten anywhere. But now that he has, he’ll do anything to make sure his father stays alive. ]

Soon, I think. I’m going to ask Armada. I’d like Athos to come with me, if it’s allowed.
