I bet Sara is the sort of person who makes good conversation, if you actually prove you're worth it. Meji at least, hasn't been any more, or less, annoying than she was with Jon.
I don't think Sara is the kind to make any conversation at all. With her monk teacher, she was pretty quiet and to the point. She hardly finished her sentences at all.
With Chris, the longest conersation we've seen yet, she just let him know that he was deluding himself and that the teachers hated him and killed his father. She didn't offer any kind words, or seem to care much about it. That's not 'good conversation'.
With Jon she just had a little outburst and then went back to quiet mode. With Sarine she hardly spoke at all. When they arrived in Tsuirakushiti she simply answered a question.
So, she either has a standard for "good enough for conversation" that noone in the story so far has met, or she just isn't into the whole 'conversation' thing too much.
Sara's spent a long time in an environment where the least inattentiveness or the wrong word can get you killed. She spends all her time watching out for danger and spends very little on idle thought or conversation. With Meji, she's expecting that something's going to jump out from nowhere and kill Meji, at any time. When Sara walks away, she's also consciously removing her protective watchfulness, saying that Meji is now on her own.
It's curious and interesting that Jon's the same way. Did the Wraiths practice similar training procedures (perhaps not quite as severe)?
Yes, this implies that the conversation between Jon and Sara is as good as it gets and is the assassin equivalent of three months of mutual therapy, with equivalent results.
They may actually be okay with each other now
Sarine knows this and her constant tease of Jon is the equivalent of love-taps. Sarine's also trying to cure both of them and make them more human again. Possible future Sarine, Jon, and Sara
manage a troi?
