She leaned just a bit against his touch, it was a brief moment of weakness from her part, she had been specifically told that she wasn’t supposed to get this close to him and she had in a way agreed, it could confuse him further, but there was the part that had missed this gentle moments between them, even if this wasn’t probably exactly as real as it had been before, she was going to be stronger next time. “I guess that will depend on anyone’s point of view.”

There really wasn’t any pang of hurt or disappointment when he couldn’t answer her question, she had already knew he wouldn’t be able to do so and she had managed to brace herself enough to not be hurt, she couldn’t undo years of conditioning and whatever training he had gone through in a handful of days. “You know that’s not possible.” And maybe if circumstances had been different, if they were not in the middle of this she would have followed him like always. “I am technically the enemy, aren’t I? Or at least for them I am and I am better out of the way permanently.”
