The fact Simon was trying to comfort him wasn't lost on him. Rafe didn't say anything right away. He just lay there listening to Simon talk. When had the young one become so knowledgeable about what words to say to calm the elder vampire down? The clan members were smart and nearly all of them had been around a long time. There were not that many young members of the clan and Simon was the newest one in awhile. Rafe was pretty sure it had been over a decade since a new member had been creating.
He was about to comment on how he saw Simon was being unhappy, but he was derailed from asking that question. What did he mean he was worried about the things Rafe did? Raphael was quickly searching his mind for anything wrong he had been doing lately. Well, okay, there was that moment back home where he had pretty much sentenced Simon to death. That was in the past now and they were working on getting along now.
"What I am doing? Explain. What about me is worrying you?"
The Spanish seemed to calm him down greatly and he let out a soft sigh. A faint smile appeared on his face before he shook his head. "Siempre estaré aquí para ti, Simon." This wasn't quite the type of conversation he thought he'd be having with Simon. "And you don't annoy me all of the time. Sometimes you actually shut up," his lips quirked in a smirk before he shut his eyes. "Are you going to sleep or not?"
There was really only so much of the emotional type of talking he could handle. He wasn't trying to shut Simon down, he was trying to switch the conversation away from such heartfelt confessions.
