[ "I don't want you to be afraid of me"... what an absurd notion. Him, the Mors King, wanting someone to not be afraid of him. The words catch in his throat, but he grips her a little tighter. ]
You... you should be, but...
[ If she misbehaves, if she makes a mistake... how absurd, more so than anything else. She hasn't misbehaved once while she's been here, has she? ]
I don't... mind... you not being afraid...
[ God is that really the best he can get out? He really is the worst. ]
