Mariya gasped and put her hand to her mouth in shock.
"No! No, that's not what I meant at all. I don't want that! I just...you know, want to do things men do. Isn't that what you want?"

"I know thats not what you want... but those were your words exactly. You see my problem right?" Lara shook her head and returned to sketching.

Lara sighed, "I did... but only because I know you... not because what you said was clear." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh."
She began to wonder several things about Lara that she had never even considered before.
"I just don't like to speak too freely. Even here, with you. We might be overheard by someone who won't understand. But since you do know me, do you agree?"

"I don't think its a flaw to be different to other women. I think it's a virtue."

"But don't you think we should strive to get what we want?" Mariya asked. "If we don't try, we'll never know."
Her eyes were alight with more passion than she usually displayed.

"I have tried to get what I want, and failed. What recourse is left to me but lifelong bitterness." Lara replied.

"I didn't know you had actually tried!" Mariya explained. "Tell me about it. Tell me what happened! Please, Lara, I want to know."

"Unfortunately nothing good." Lara replied, "I do not want to talk of it."

"Oh, but I thought we could help each other," Mariya said, disappointed. "I don't think anybody else would understand."

"Oh, well. I want the same rights as a man. In regard to swordplay, that is. So...I thought, if we worked together, we might find a way to get what each of us wants."
