Her cheeks were still red, <span style="color: #80BF00">"He said that if it kept you going, kept you hopeful and willing to live then it was worth it...I understood his reasoning but...it just seemed extreme to me. We aren't together, though--so it shouldn't matter to me, but...“</span> Karra trailed off, but it did matter to her. She didn't think it was right either way. He would have been seeing someone else and giving them hope to live, but also would have likely caused Tania to fall in love with him. And what then? It didn't seem fair to either her or Tania in the long run, because in the end he would have had to choose as neither of them would have been likely okay to share. <br/><br/>She rubbed her arm nervously, as she had never had such a conversation with another person before. Karra gave a sigh, <span style="color: #80BF00">"He told me that he would do all that to keep you moving and then said, 'I will give it to any female member of my group, if it makes them not losing hope. I have to, because it is my duty as the commanding officer to keep my people alive and moving,' but that it didn't change how he felt about me...“</span> Karra explained, quoting Tom's words. <span style="color: #80BF00">"I just don't think that is appropriate, even if we were to be together...but maybe I am just unable to get past it. I don't know.“</span> <br/><br/>Karra was becoming frustrated with herself, trying her best to put herself in the mindset of Tom, but she just was unable. She could see the connections, but felt as if there better solutions out there. Her eyes were becoming glassy as she thought about it, but she refused to cry. It wasn't worth crying over and she had been through a lot worse in her life.</div>
