[He might be trying to control his own face, but she's losing that battle. Tears are slipping down her cheeks as she listens to him, wishing she'd been there for him that day, but glad Kara was. So glad he didn't have to make that decision and wondering if...maybe he did. Maybe he knew his choice and was already haunted by it even if it didn't play out to the gruesome end.
Then he says it again and it hits her harder and there's no defense to it. No push back. He still didn't see it play out. He didn't see the deaths or the fierce and unforgiving way she trained her students. But he still seems to see her. To see the caring and protectiveness that went into things she questions now that she has time to look back on them. At least she wants to think he does. She wants to think there is good there to see.
She collapses back into his arms. She's not ready for one L-word. Another seems too small. She goes with a third.]
