"Don't apologise Kallithyia...You may not be acting the proud warrior, but I think that the Kallithyia I see before me now is a great woman and I think more sincere, heartfelt, and honest, and I would be glad to call you my friend just as you are now--I hope that is not an insult in your culture coming from a man," Catullus says honestly, trying to respect Kalli's feelings.

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia beams at Catullus confession and embraces him in quickly in a heartfelt hug, though the closeness she felt to him and how comfortable he felt made her wonder if it wasn’t a tragic mistake. *

“I do not care what culture considers to be proper, Catullus. I value your friendship, and everything you have done for me, and you deserve, and have, my friendship in return.” [/sblock]

*Catullus returns Kalli's hug with a comforting embrace, much as he had done before when she had cried on his shoulder.*

"I am glad, Kallithyia. Oh, and since we are friends now, can I call you Kalli? It feels so much less formal than your full name, although I must admit that Kallithyia is a beautiful name."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I think that Kallithyia is beautiful too,” the Palmaid admitted honestly as smiled pleasingly at him, “but if Kalli makes you feel comfortable and more inclined to consider me a friend then, Cully, please fill free to call me by it.” [/sblock]

"Okay, Kalli...I am glad to be your friend, and I feel honoured to be so, transcending our cultures...Now then, I think I've probably made you wait for your coconuts too much longer than I should have. Would you like my help with them, do you want to rub the milk in yourself, or should I get one of the women crew members?"

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Catullus, it’s not really a wait when I’ve been so completely distracted by my friend,” Kallithyia said honestly but quickly blushed out of discomfort at her own words, surely he would realize her feelings if she continued to speech in such a manner.

“The coconuts,” Kallithyia said quickly in the hopes of distracting him from his words even though she wasn’t sure how to truly say what she felt she should out of honesty, “Well, ah, Cully, we never did go into details about them. They do more than make me happy, or make my scares fade, they also arouse me, ah, physically. Spreading and rubbing the milk upon another is an act of bonding for a Palmaid.”

“I just figured you would like to know the truth before you volunteer to perform such an act.”

* Kallithyia smiled timidly and looked towards the ground hopeful that the rejection she knew was to come wouldn’t be as painful as she thought it would be. * [/sblock]

"Oh, you are too kind, Kalli," Catullus replies kindly.

"Hmm...well I would like to bond with you as a friend, and if this is what your people do among friends, then I would be glad to do it. My heart belongs to Lynestra, though, so I can't move on beyond that, but I'd be glad to be your friend and help you heal, if you would like to have me do it."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“We do much amongst friends that your Lynestra would not approve of,” kalli said softly and without looking at him as she tried to hide the pain of rejection, “I… Well, the coconuts can wait till later. Right now I should see more of this ship of yours. For one, I would like to know were your cabin is just in case something bad happens. I should also meet these female warriors we talked about.”

* Her tone and mannerism changes from friend amongst friends to a more formal “business first” approach that she used to keep people, or to push people, away from her… *

"Kalli, please don't be upset...I still want to be your friend, despite the difference our cultures have in expressing friendship. If you'd like to see the ship, though, I'd be glad to show you, but let's go visit as friends, okay?"

*Catullus takes Kalli's hand in his, squeezing it gently and comfortingly as he leads her to see other areas of the ship.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I’m not upset,” Kallithyia quickly lied as she looked painfully upon him, she could only hope that he thought she was upset over their loss of friendship, “I know how much Lynestra means to you and I would never ask you to tarnish those feelings for our friendship!”

* Kallithyia finished her words feverously and her final words were completely true… She realized no matter how much she wanted more that Catullus would always choose Lynestra and if she pushed for more than casual friends that Catullus would probably leave her and then she would truly have nothing… *

* She wanted to cry but she forced herself to concentrate on putting together the face of one of the men who had so brutally raped her… He was mostly a surreal blur, only the pain he causes seemed to have been real, but she didn’t cry. *[/sblock]
