I have no idea what it means that I'm a Cylon

What can I say--I like to keep you off your guard.

Leoben pisses me off because when he spars, he doesn't--he doesn't get it. I don't know if I can explain it. I keep hoping he'll stop making me mad when we do it, but he doesn't, and yet I keep asking him to do it anyway.

I can't explain me either, half the time.

I knew, about Leoben. How you knew where he was, I meant. I'm not an idiot, Sam.

And I'm not afraid of you. Regardless.

[cylon_prophet]

It would be nice if you could figure out what that was. I'm still not sure why you get so angry at me for fighting back, and yet, you'd be equally as mad if I just sat back and took it. You didn't even like it when I did that when you were torturing me.

[burnandrave]

Could we not talk about things we don't need to talk about, now? Like me torturing you? I didn't like anything about torturing you, even when I didn't--even when you were--

We can just stop sparring. I don't know why I keep asking.

[cylon_prophet]

You could try not leaving when you get so mad, you know.

Just a suggestion.

[burnandrave]

...

Fine.

Maybe I will.

Stop trying to make me mad.

[cylon_prophet]

You might not believe me, but I'm actually not trying to make you angry. That's not at all what I want at the moment.

[burnandrave]

Yeah? What do you want? Or do I really need to ask?

[cylon_prophet]

Someone to go pick up our rations so I can make dinner.

[burnandrave]

...
Sometimes I hate you, Conoy.

[cylon_prophet]

"Conoy"? You never call me that.

And it's part of my charm.

[notmyfate]

I didn't say you were an idiot, baby.

Maybe you like it that he makes you mad? I mean, Kara, you know that has to be likely, right? This is exactly what I am telling Leoben he shouldn't do, point these things out.

You're not afraid of me now.

[burnandrave]

I'll deal with Leoben, okay? You don't need to help me. I thought you didn't like him?

What is that, some kind of frakking threat? Sam. Come on.

[notmyfate]

Oh, sorry, I thought we were all in this together--

Gods, Kara, I sound like an idiot. Fine. You work it out, I was just trying to help.

It's not that I dislike him, really. He's not--I don't dislike him, it's just--

It's hard to explain.

[burnandrave]

"So say we all", is that it?

Sorry. Gods. I know, I'm defensive. Look, it's not like it's a frakking newsflash, but I can admit it, okay?

I guess it would be. I did throw you into this without giving you much a choice. I think it would be worse if it were Lee, though.

[notmyfate]

Something like that, yeah. Maybe.

Yes, I see that, baby. ::smiles::

Kara. Stop that. I had a choice. I said yes. I love you, and I want this to work. For us, for you. And that means, I guess, for you and Leoben, too.

I wouldn't have said yes if it'd been him.

[burnandrave]

You're acting like a girl again, Anders.

::smiles back::

If it had been him, I wouldn't have asked.
