He didn't pause in his words despite the affronted look that came over Karra's face, <span style="color: #FF8000"> "...But it doesn't change on iota how I feel about you. You are always the one I care most. And I won't leave you behind, even if I have to carry you."</span> Kara was very quiet, letting her hand fall away from Tom's shoulder, <span style="color: #80BF00">"You do what you have to."</span> Her voice was devoid of anything but exhaustion. Tom's eyes were sad, but Karra was sure that what little hope she had for them was gone with his words. Tom was right, Karra was a soldier and unlike the Latina, she did not need a shoulder, she did not need him--at least that's what she told herself. <br/><br/>She folded her arms, subconsciously protecting herself from any possible hurt. The damage was done, but there was no use in worrying about it now. <span style="color: #80BF00">"You're right, she isn't a trained soldier. She'll definitely need you more than I will.“</span> With that, Karra ducked behind Tom, her hand reaching for the door. She wasn't sure what kind of world Tom was living in, but it wasn't the same one as her. <br/><br/>She should have known that any feeling Tom had would be shadowed by his skewed vision of duty. Two years in the cockpit with him, and for what? Sure, they were great friends--but clearly that was not a line they would cross. Their two hate filled kisses would be the only kisses exchanged, it seemed. His promise that she would be the one he cared for most was not enough--not for her and if he didn't know that, then he didn't really know her that well. But maybe that was why he looked so sad.</div>
