maybe it says something about her – that this is the part she likes. that rather than the violence, rather than the occasional moments of victory where someone with a body untrained for war mistakes a lucky shot for an act of heroism, the quiet moments where it comes down to kara and loose end she’s chosen to unravel are her favorite.
there’s no thrill to be found in unbridled aggression, however fluent she’s become in the art form of it and however inclined she is to take pride in her own skill. maybe the years she’s spent inflicting harm have made her world-weary, tired all the way down in her bones – or maybe it’s nothing so played out. maybe she’s just bored with it, averse to the predictability.
it is kind of the same story over and over when she thinks about it: she and logan find monster, she and logan fight monster, kill monster, bury monster, and then sew each other up before embarking on their search for the next one. at least this part is interesting; you could spend days and weeks and months chasing one myth all the way back to its source, uncovering the history behind an artifact and educating yourself as to its use.
there’s variety. there’s a level of intellectual stimulation you just can’t get from throwing a knife at something and hoping you don’t miss. there’s more to that, of course, trust her to know just how much, but sometimes that’s what it boils down to, and kara doesn’t always want to take on faith. sometimes kara wants to make her own magic – and there is something magical in how her eyes scan the cave, picking up on details that would escape most people’s notice.
