Erik sighed, and decided Katya was right. But, he also realized he wasn't entirely blameless either, and he actually didn't want Katya to feel any lingering resentment over the fact he did all this without talking to her about it.
So, before Katya could say anything, he went down on his knees as well. Now they were both on their knees, sitting across from each other.
Katya frowned. "What are you doing?" she asked.
Erik shrugged laconically and smirked slightly. "I respect what you're doing, Katya, and I'll accept your apology like a man, but only if you accept mine as well. I put your brother in danger and changed the plan without talking to you, and although I had my reasons, I still feel I should apologize for it. It showed a lack of respect."
