"Don't look at me like that."
Kel blinked. "Like what?"
"Likeā¦I don't know, like you're in awe of me or something. Stop it."
A faint smile played over Kel's lips, and she traced her fingers along the scar between Alanna's breasts. "I am in awe of you."
Alanna scowled. "Don't be." She moved Kel's hand away from her scar.
"Why don't you like it?" Kel asked, looking at the scar intently now. "It's proof that you're a legend, that you're the best of the best. Nobody else got the Dominion Jewel. It shows that you're as perfect a warrior as it's possible to be."
Alanna snorted and pulled the sheets up to her collarbone. "If I was so perfect, I wouldn't have let myself get sliced."
