Na'Ki: Gena, I didn't want to -
Ki'i'Mar: DON'T INTERRUPT ME.
Na'Ki: ... yes, Gena.
Ki'i'Mar: What I just said applies to you and your comrades as well. Do you know what I SAW IN YOUR FACES when Maq joined you there on the Council Plaza? Even though you all tried very hard to look STOIC?

<Ki'i'Mar comes closer to Na'Ki>
Ki'i'Mar: At least two of you were HEAVILY DISGUSTED by just having to be near him. Most of the others just sseemed to be a bit ... frustrated. ANNOYED, maybe. The ONLY one who didn't seem to mind too much ... was YOU.

<Ki'i'mar touches Na'Ki's cheek>
Ki'i'Mar: Which seemed ODD to me ... but maybe you are a bit more OPEN-MINDED to the CHAOS and OPPORTUNITIES that life throws at us, and not as CAST IN STONE and SHACKLED by your dogmas like the rest of you ...

Na'Ki: <blushes> I-I ...
Ki'i'Mar: Don't worry, you don't have to comment on that. It'd probably get you into trouble ... and we can't have that, can we?
<Ki'i'Mar turns to leave>
Ki'i'Mar: You are DISMISSED, Dragoon Na'Ki. You can go now.
