Anya dropped her finger quickly from his scar as she caught a glance at his shocked expression.  She wasn't sure if she had hurt him or just scared him with her suggestion.  It made her self conscious a bit as she let her hand fall back to her side.<br/><br/>Studying him, she watched as he stopped himself from speaking.  He looked like he was in pain and yet he didn't act like it.  After a pause, he spoke again calmly.  The answer he gave definitely wasn't the one she had assumed that she was going to get.  He looked ready to run at first but now at least he seemed a little more stable.<br/><br/>"The trouble with pre-conditions is the fact that sometimes they are never met.  It isn't giving if it isn't freely given."  She watched his scar change and tilted her head slightly.  His hesitation worried her and she wondered if she should be checking on his health.<br/><br/>Lifting her arms, she crossed them over her chest as he relaxed.  "I am in danger all the time, it's just about the way that I go about defeating them or keeping them at bay.  She smiled at him slightly and then nodded.  "I don't need to be owed anything.  Its called giving.  Sometimes it is the best thing in situations.  You are a fighter, I am not.  I am a magic user with the knowledge you need to survive.  It's logical as much as it is anything."<br/><br/>She wasn't going to say anything about the attraction or the situation at hand really at this point.  It was as if to voice it were to make it real, even more real than it already was.  "Why does your scar change?  Are you okay?"  She lifted her hand to run her finger over it again but hesitated and stopped herself.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
