Catra gently rubs away one of those tears with her thumb, and leans in, pressing her forehead to Adora's, her eyes falling closed as she struggles with just how overwhelmed that one little sentence has her feeling.
You've always been worth everything to me.
It's everything she's always wanted to hear, but she doesn't know if she would have been ready to hear it before now. Back then, back in the full throes of her fury when she'd been right on the verge of destroying the whole planet, she wouldn't have believed Adora if she'd said that. Now, it has her heart pounding with how much it means to her.
"You're everything to me, too," she murmurs scratchily. When her eyes open, her vision's a little blurry with tears threatening to fall. "And I'm going to try to be worthy of that from now on. Even if I'm... not quite sure how to be on the good side."
It comes out sheepish, with a rueful little smile.
"You make it look so easy. Like you were always meant to be the hero."
