"I appreciate you saying so Veyea, but I already think you are much stronger than you give yourself credit for.  You need to let the events of your past feed you to make your future better, not let it plague your memory."<br/><br/>Of course this was Teel talking more than Kavash.  Her memories and experiences tended to touch more on lost and danger than his.  Her mention of a holodeck recreation of a musical from the twentieth century peeked his curiosity.  "I think I may have read that story.  I would love to see the holoprogram sometime if you'd care to share it with me."<br/><br/>
