[ His hands move, digging into his pockets. How he replies isn't exactly reassuring though. ]

But I doubt you've done anything like what I've done, Athena. There are things I don't even forgive myself for, and I don't think you should either until you know what they are, that's all.

[ He glances down sadly. ] I want you to, but I don't think it will help anything in the long run. If you read this, then still feel the same, I won't question it I promise. It's just... You know that I have this destiny. The truth is Arthur is the light, the one who is noble and-- [ He sucks in a breath. ] --I'm the one who keeps it that way from the shadows.

[ By doing the things Arthur should never have to. ]

I don't doubt that you love me, you know? That isn't it. I just don't think you should.

[ Which may be all the more insulting in a way... but it's how he feels. ]

You could have someone, anyone. Someone who can make you happy all the time. I want you to be happy. Not like-- [ His hand reaches out, but it hesitates before his fingers can touch her cheek, just hovering there. ] --Not like this. I keep hurting you because I don't know how to say any of it, so please. Read this. You'll have time and then... tell me your answer.
