((Korras’s Quarters, SB 118 OPS))
Kreshkova: And so zhat’s it?
Korras: ::smiling:: It is an excellent opportunity for you, and I doubt it will be the last time we see each other. The galaxy sometimes is a small place.
Sasch snatched the PADD back him.
Kreshkova: Is vhat ve had so easily cast aside? I’m glad you’re happy for ::Her tone turned bitter and her words became sarcastic:: 'zhis ‘excellent opportunity for me,’ but doesn’t your heart break at all?
Korras: yes, it does hurt. But, how will it help if I get angry with it?
He looked at her, and saw her eyes misting up. He had intended to prevent just that. Of course he hated the situation, but he was trying to make it better, not worse.
Kreshkova: You’ll forgif me. I zhink I need to be going.
To say he was confused was an understatement.
Korras: Wait..
Sasch pulled her hand away from him.
Kreshkova: I hadn’t realized it, but it seems zhat I vas obviously more invested in zhis relationship….
Korras: Wait. Please.
Sasch stopped in her tracks. As she turned to face Korras, he saw something he had not yet seen. Her jaw was set. Her eyes had surrendered the tears that they had refused to earlier, and yet, the more they rained, the more fire they produced.
Kreshkova: Da?
Her single word was a question, and it demanded an answer.
Korras: Of course this means a lot to me. Of course I hate this. However, I was trying to stay positive. I did not want us to spend the last few days we have together in sadness.
Kreshkova: ?
Korras: In my culture, it is a great honour to have your skill so renowned as that you are requested to do so elsewhere. So of course I am glad for you, even if I do not like that. You mean the world to me, of course I would rather not be parted from you.
Kreshkova: ?
Korras: I know I am not always able to properly convey my feelings. I have tried to adapt, but so many things get lost in translation.
Kreshkova: ?
