I hate putting you in that position, and that is another reason why I've avoided this conversation. But [...] you've managed not to hurt me, with anything you said just now. I'm just sorry that you had to choose your words so carefully.
And I understand the desire to make me feel better; it's exactly what I feel, when you tell me that you have felt worthless. It's not that it don't want to hear that I am worth something to you. I just don't want to hear it in the context of trying to make me feel better. [...] If that makes sense.
No, this is not about being king. That's a separate burden, one that would even make Kell's sacrifice, and your hard work, make more sense. And while of course the fact that I am king may have factored into what you've both done for me, I know it was not the deciding factor.
