G'Kar scrutinizes Vir.

You are smarter than you appear, do you know that? Or not as stupid as you look, one or the other.

Yes, you are quite right. I do love Mollari. And I may hope for him to be more than he is, but I do not expect it, any more than I expected to love him to begin with. As you can see, one occasionally gets surprised.

And I left him. I swore I would protect him, and instead I left him to go play hero with the Minbari, to show those nubile Human boys what it is to be a warrior, to be a Narn. Turned my back for one second, Vir, and now he is gone.

There are two things I know. The first is that, had I been here protecting him, Mollari would not be gone from us now. The second is that, should he return, I shall never leave his side again.

G'Kar laughs mirthlessly.

I said I would forgive him, Vir. I was too afraid to ask if he would forgive me.
