[Kara's quiet for a while, though whether she's thinking or simply focused on the task is hard to tell (it's both). It isn't until she's smoothed down the last bit of tape that she speaks again.]
Ain't about how much land they got.
[Most of the time, Kara talks like she's either completely bored, or barely containing her annoyance, but she's a little quieter now, a little more somber.
She grew up among people who worked the land to make a living, raising cattle or growing crops, and there's a part of her that can almost understand that defensiveness at the prospect of losing hard earned land.
But then she remembers that most of the True Leithians are off-shoots of the Nine, who didn't struggle for their land so much as stumble onto it because they had the resources and money to colonize Leith.]
All this shit? It's gonna get a lot worse. [There's a second where it seems like she might say more, before she shakes her head and steps back.] There. All better.
