Kate doesn't answer that.

Or not in words, anyway. Not immediately. Just turns her head so her face is pressed against his neck and sighs.

"I'm always going to be scared of this," she whispers finally. "Thank you. But I don't--waiting won't make it better. And it won't change what we have to do in the end. What I have to do. And what happens if I slip."

She's switched to Russian along the way without realizing it.

"We want this. You and I both do. I am just--"

And then Russian, English, or Shi'ar, it doesn't matter, because she can't find the right words. Just shrugs, and closes her eyes, and turns her face into his neck a little more.
