Well that's... ominous. Not that I ought to be surprised, enough terrible things have happened that I know about that I can't imagine the things I don't.
Whether you blame me or not, I'm sorry. And I wouldn't think it was out of line if you did, I know this is probably a horrible thing for me to do. But it's best we laid it out for each other early so no one could get more hurt by finding out, I think. And for what very little I'm sure it's worth right now, I do still adore you, Keyleth. And I'd do anything to keep you safe, that hasn't changed even if the deeper nature of my feelings has. Should I... I don't know. Do you want me to leave you alone? What do you need me to do? Maybe I should say the one more thing I need to tell you and you can decide then.
