She still had access to Carrier. As Tatijana looked around the junction room, she decided that must not be a bad thing. She'd heard nothing from Nikolas in two months now, and it was time to deal with the stubborn man properly.

"I never loved my country. I can't really comment." He doesn't remember it, but he feels it. "I mean, I didn't hate it. I just didn't feel that whole fervor for the flag thing."

The tip of the knife bends as he accidentally scares it along his fingertip. "Damn. Pass me another knife?"

"Not a bad thing, probably. As you said, patriotism can make people do stupid things."

She grabs another knife and hands it over to him.
