"And it's fair you want to know what's been happening in the world of Nia, it just seemed weird it being that way round, you know, considering..."

As he asked if she was okay, Nia nodded. "Course I am," she said with a smile. Just a bit muddled for some unknown reason, she added to herself. "I guess it's just been a bit of a shock. For er, both of us."

She shook her head. "How can I be more than me? I am a whole, and a Nia, and that is me," she said trying to hold her side as it were. Not that there really were sides, but she didn't see her self as amazing. She almost scowled at that. Almost.


"You're better with emotions and as a friend than me. You see the good in people. Though not as perhaps technically advanced, you know where you're capabilities lie, and in some walks of life that's as important as anything else," she listed quickly.
He smiled as she responded with his question with her own. "No Socratic debating techniques here, missy...you should answer a question directly." With that he laughed, knowing that neither of them were truly honest about their feelings with each other. "And besides, I do take an interest in you, because....." well, he didn't know how best to respond to her query. What did he feel completely. He didn't consider her just a friend. They'd been through a great deal and danced around any romantic entanglements like their friends dealt with and maybe that was proper...for now.

When she responded to his question about her being ok, he felt like maybe she was hiding something. She gave an explanation, but it seemed contrived. He slid closer and touched her hand. "Are you sure you're ok?" This time he was truly concerned.

"Well...just Nia is amazing and you can't convince me otherwise." He felt like she was only putting up part of a defense..and he was ok with that.

Her answer was touching. "Thank you so much. I wish I had the technical skills, but I'm glad you think I'm good at something. I wish I had more I could give to you in the way of skills."
