It wasn't like Fisher had a choice. He couldn't overpower Nox, and he couldn't convince Nox to let him leave. Fisher was stuck where he was, forced to listen. "Whatever your reasons were for kissing me... they're valid. I won't try to make sense of your emotions. They're yours, and only you can figure them out. Sometimes we make impulsive decisions based on a feeling that suddenly hits us. We may regret it, we may wish to take it back, but such hindsight doesn't invalidate the emotion or thought that caused us to act." He paused with a sigh. "But that doesn't make it right. I am not interested in you sexually, nor will I ever be. That would be the case regardless our relationship as student and staff member. I am your friend and sponsor, in that order, and I want you to trust me and rely upon me for help in the future. Please, please do not let this stop you from coming to me. I care about you very much, Fisher."
