[ you are the most unbothered, loving person that he's ever met in his entire 6000+ years, yves. it's truly inspiring - but also worrying. ]
I can't say I'm surprised by the answer, my friend. [ lightly. ] But we do care about you - you make it very easy, I think, no matter the person opposite you.
Are you waiting out here to make sure that you can reassure those that were worried, and check on the ones that are going to see Miss Neverah?
[ please understand that he's just a fucking freak! more trouble than he's worth! leave him behind! ]
I love you all too. [ and he doesn't shy away from the word, from the depths of what he feels ] I'm lucky to be looked after so well.
[ but he smiles faintly ]
Mostly the former... I don't want to intrude people who want their time with Neverah. I was just a little worried that people might feel guilty for suspecting me.
You do quite a bit of looking after, yourself. It is only right to have it returned.
[ the word isn't returned, but the sentiment has already been given - yves is very important to a large number of people here, has already impacted their lives. ]
I imagine that the guilt might be greater, if you did find yourself the condemned. But in due time, especially after speaking with you, I'm sure that will ease.
There's a chance of that. It's why I was trying to redirect us and cooperate at the same time... but I know that must still be hard to trust until Laurence stepped in.
His relief was palpable for many of us, I think. Short-lived and constricted as relief can be, given our circumstances, but there nonetheless.
[ he reaches and touches his arm, giving a squeeze. ]
If only we had no reason to find a guilty party at all. Neither you nor Miss Neverah would not have needed such scrutiny, and she would not have senseless blood on her hands - especially when she was so adamant about finding a way out of this.

I really appreciated him for it.
