<em>"Ooouh, aren't you rather...</em>cocky?" There was another giggle that followed, that icy feeling...caressing? his behind.<em>"You like how I touch you, too. Most people wouldn't have stopped running, you know...why did you? I could...reward that more rare option, you know."</em>Something in his very mind seemed to shift, like it was pulling apart somewhere at a seam deep down beneath in his consciousness.<em>"What do you think, darling?"</em><br/><br/>--<br/><br/>"Alone...Fear...Yes, it is...Something rather alien in and of itself, really. I envy that you never will truly understand those emotions, those...feelings, I guess. I don't know, I've known solitude since I was very small. But that feeling of being accepted and loved by everyone you know, I know that, too. Nnnn...Not on the same level as you, of course!" With a weak smile, she began to take a long lock of her own hair and caress it idly. "...But it's a peaceful thing all the same, you know."<br/><br/>A slight blush, a hint of pink tinged Kara's normally pale cheeks, her smile twitching upward, tighter across her face. "You know, that means a lot to me, and I'm unsure I know why, Seven. I can hardly even imagine what the uh...Ultothar is like. ...Big, I guess. Really big." Her own head tipped to a side as she contemplated this mental image in her mind for a moment before shrugging. "Nope. Nothing. It'll most certainly be something I need to see for myself. I really look forward to it, though! Maybe someday soon, when we've dispersed of this whole...Blight mess, yes? I would love to see where you're from."<br/><br/>A thoughtful noise hummed from Kara's own throat and she tugged at her hair a little in thought. "I suppose. It's like having plumage on a bird, or something. I like it, but there are many ways to keep hair. I grow sort of...bored keeping it this way. Not much I can do with it like this except pile it onto my head before fighting. Surely you saw some of the other types of styles girls keep their hair? The possibilities are pretty much endless!"
