That's not....not what I meant. [He has a sigh of his own to match. Naesala's trying to put her off of the idea, not hurt her. She has to know.] Of course you're so much more to me than that.
[Closes his eyes. He always knew she had something for him, too, but it's so much more painful when said aloud. Just... One last ploy. Laying things out in the open.] Did it tell you how I used and betrayed your brother? Ruined an alliance years in the making? I'm willing to bet it doesn't know I delivered the hawks a death sentence on their entire country!
I put Kilvas first with every move I make. Even after all of that, you still feel this way? You still trust me?
[At this point, he just sounds...desperately confused? Certainly not angry, at least not toward Leanne. Because despite all his usual asshole posturing, he doesn't get it.]
