I'm supposed to tell you how I truly feel about you.
[ and this is where he pauses, frowning, because as shess knows, kara is neither good with words or feelings. this is really hard for him, and as such his eyes will be looking anywhere but at shess as he speaks. ]
I don't always like you, or how you approach things.
[ well this is off to a great start. ]
It seems like you're always keeping secrets, and only sharing when you're forced to, half the time. And the way that you deliberately turn everyone's focus away from yourself - it's suspicious. Sometimes it makes me wonder if you're really someone who can be trusted.
[ he'll let a drop of irritation leak into his voice with the next sentence. ]
And you keep telling me things about how I should be friendlier and try to get along with everyone else, and that's... annoying. I told you and all the others that I'm not here to make friends, and I didn't want to.
[ his voice turns soft, more than a little embarrassed that he has to say this out loud. ]
But I... want to call you a friend. And I do trust you - more than anyone here right now. If it were up to me to choose who would be here at the end, out of all of us, I think it should be you. I think you'd make better decisions for the universe than any of us.
[ he falls quiet then, eyes still turned away, but apparently he's done. ]
[he listens. somehow, knowing this is because of lune, he's not surprised.]
This seems like the sort of task he'd give...
[though the takeaway from this is apparently that kara has no standards for friendship seeing as how he couldn't name a single thing he liked about shess?
[kara did something for him?? kara did something for him that required doing something uncomfortable in the process??? what twilight zone has he wandered into.
he rolls down a sleeve so that he can unwrap the bandages there. ... huh. well, what do you know.]

...]
All right. Thank you.
What's the task for, if I can ask?
no subject
[ and that's not true! he knows he can trust shess and that's what matters most to him :/ fight me jan ]
...It was to heal your wounds. If it works the same way as before, they should be gone now.
[ and dana has confirmed any remaining wounds will be healed! enjoy that while it lasts, shess ]

also, while shess kind of saw the speech coming, he wasn't expecting that.
please hold for a moment as he registers what kara just said/did?]

but as it stands he just leans a little closer to see for himself, finally nodding in satisfaction ]
Then it worked. Good.
[ he even sounds a little relieved! ]

so this is all. a little weird.]
Well, Lune probably wouldn't have given you a false task...

Thank you. You didn't have to.
