Hardly. You need to hold yourself up in a higher regard, you deserve kindness, grace, and understanding just as much as anyone does.

( Presses a brief kiss to her forehead ) I’m glad you have all of this now.

( Brendol )

// It sounds terrible when you say it like that, goodness haha.

// Can attest.

// So. So many times…

… Pardon?

Different fathers? I- Huh. Would you like to punch my arm?

Have at it then.

( Holds his arm out a bit as she hits it ) … is that helping at all?

I know, I remember. I am… so very sorry.

I cannot argue that.

… very..?

It wasn’t meant to be, I’m uncertain what else to say. If you need anything at all though. I can help. Perhaps Lee would have some suggestions?

I assure you it’s not you she will try to kill.

I think that’s a bit much to presume. I’ll do my best not to die at least.

… I cannot argue that.

At some point she will figure it out on her own and I feel that will be worse somehow.

I know…

Again, I doubt she will be. But she will be mad at me (chuckles)
