[ There's a real stubborn want of someone in her position to simply dismiss - but what would that get them? In much the same position she was in with Damon no doubt, but here - what is she if not a grown woman dealing with a young boy. Who, granted, was nothing like her Anand. Anand was proud, always seeking to be brave for her, to never let her down. He would have been -

(It was because he seemed to think that politely leaving each other alone is a way to deal with our new found connection. I could tell him that there would be times that no amount of politeness will stop the feelings we obtain from each other, but I had a feeling that he would not listen.
So I showed him instead. It was mild. Simply put it into my hand. Nothing more serious than what might happen sparring. )
[ She does and she is, and there is no in between. No different a step between throwing herself down to her knees with her blade in front of Sam and asking for death - no less a measure than deciding that simply stopping England in India was not enough than burning down the whole Empire and deciding to fight for an eternity if need be. She did it - she would always just do it, and like this, right now, she lays it out like chess board pieces.
No different now. Her eyes down as she thinks where she's working. Focusing, processing. She is not a complicated creature, she never had been. She wanted to protect, she wanted to serve her people well, and she always took the time, for all her faults otherwise, to listen if she could. She did not always do those things well, but she would try regardless. Anything else was too great a sin otherwise.
Well, at least where vampires weren't concerned. ]
(You are right, names are important. In Hindi we take names differently again. I referred to the English simply because I thought it might be more... plain to others.
