You needn't change anything for me. I would much rather hear your feelings than to be ignorant of them.
[Gepard shifts; there's plenty of space, if he was only willing to part from Do more. Still, at least he can sort of see the redhead better.]
I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to bring your mood down. But there's really nothing else you need to worry about for me, you know. It just... occurred to me that if he hadn't changed his mind... the reality is that I, as a servant of the Lord's laws, may not have been able to say no. That didn't happen, so it's... fine, really.
I would rather think about the present and future than the past. And... you owe me no explanations about your own circumstances and choices. No choice you make will change how I view you. It never has. I want to support you, and I want to stay by your side.
