i love the struggle over the word understanding in this fic.
I love that this is really a learning experience for them both. As you said, Cameron is good at intuiting things to a certain extent but there's still a lot that she doesn't know, that she needs to discover on her own and experience to really understand. And Sarah has been so emotionally closed off for so long, that I really think she has a lot to learn and understand about herself. I love that they can grow and learn together.
i also like the idea of sarah being cameron's mission. i'm not sure i buy into completely, but it's a great thing for cameron to say. it could help to make sarah stronger in some ways.
I guess the idea was more that Sarah's well being is part of her over-all mission. Sarah maintains that Cameron doesn't need to be concerned with her, yet Sarah's mental state and well being is directly linked to John's and thereby to the future of humanity, so by helping and protecting Sarah, she is helping and protecting John which is her stated mission.
Sarah's just so focused on John and what he means to the future all the time that I don't think it would occur to her without prompting to think that she is just as important to Cameron's mission as he is.
