"Oh..." It didn't make sense to him. Caring was caring, wasn't it? It was all the same when you got down to it? But he didn't say anything. He didn't want to upset Owen. If he upset Owen, the doctor might leave. And the didn't want to be alone. It had been bad enough without his Master. He couldn't lose Owen too. He'd latched onto the other man as a source of stability and security.
"Family..." he said to himself, understanding that at least. "Incest is wrong." He gave a small, awkward laugh. Owen saw him as family. That explained it. He wouldn't try to kiss him again. He didn't want Owen to be uncomfortable at all.
"Where did you want me to go?" he asked nervously. "Can we stay here? I...Master didn't...I wasn't allowed...I don't go outside." The idea of leaving this place filled him with a sort of dread. There would be people. So many people. And he was only used to the Master. And now Owen.
