					KIRA
				(bringing the tea)
			That's what makes you different
			from other vedeks I've known.
			For you, Faith is a journey.

					FALA
			One that never ends...

	A beat as they take in the sight of each other.

					FALA
			So you're a colonel now...
				(off her smile)
			It seems like only yesterday you
			were just a little girl,
			squirming in her chair during
			instruction.

					KIRA
				(smiling as she
				corrects him)
			There were no chairs in the camp --
			we sat on the floor.

					FALA
			Which was good for discipline --
			it made me seem more imposing.

					KIRA
			As if you needed help.
				(in a stern teachers
				voice)
			"Nerys, what are the three keys
			to enlightenment?"

					FALA
			And the answer?

					KIRA
			Charity, humility and faith.

					FALA
			You remember.

					KIRA
			You were a good teacher. Without
			you, I'm not sure I would've
			survived that camp.

	Fala smiles gratefully --

					FALA
			I brought you something.
