			No, it's not that. I'm just 
			thinking about all the times I 
			came to you for advice about 
			Shakaar. And Bareil. It must've 
			been so hard for you to listen to

			Nerys, I didn't come here 
			expecting you to throw yourself in 
			my arms. But you're leaving here 
			in two days, and I'm never going 
			to see you again. All I'm asking 
			is that you... spend some time 
			with me. Gaia is very 
			beautiful... I'd love to show it 
			to you.
