[He lets out a long sigh as he casts his eyes downward.]
But you continue to refuse to share your burden. How are you to help one another escape when you will not do even this? He wants... Nay, lusts after and demands control of you, of his environment, of himself under threat of self-collapse, yet it eludes him.
I had thought that he would perhaps be all too eager to learn how to do this! Especially since he has displayed his own anger and jealousy with our history and understanding.
[He lets his hands go slack to accommodate the sheer number of fuzzbugs clamoring for the warmth of his hands.]
I was worried that he would ill-suit you as a lover and a partner, and he has all but confirmed such for me. ...Yet you are free to do as you please. It is uncouth for a dead man to judge the living so.
