Erm... Well, that's... probably true, too.

[ rubs the back of his neck ]

Of course, I was embarrassed that I said it, but that's not exactly what I'm bothered about...

I was... not exactly thinking of it in terms of my own relationship to Mister Roy when I offered. When I say it aloud, it sounds a lot more insensitive...

That is true.

[She won't pull punches. That would not help him in any way.]

However... you could not take into consideration what you yourself had not yet considered for yourself.

It is now a matter of how you wish to right that now that you have.

He didn't exactly give me a choice in the matter...

I already knew, but he... made clear again that he's jealous of our relationship with Xerx. Not... that he's jealous of us for having him, but that he's jealous of him for having us. He... I didn't feel like I could back out, so I didn't retract the offer, but it was... very apparent that he was trying to please me, which, um...

How do I put it... I feel like I went in too far by mistake, but now if I pull back he'll take it as a mark against himself...

...no matter how you care for someone, you cannot and must not put aside your own feelings for the sake of theirs.

Any kindness you feel you might do him will only hurt him more when it inevitably comes to the surface.

The greatest kindness you can do him is to be honest with him.

... You're right. I haven't really lied to him, but I've probably mislead him...

I'm... still not completely sure what the full truth I need to tell him is. I just wish there were more I could offer him... but I should just entrust that to Xerx.

I know you would never wish to do so. So if it is a matter of telling him that you are still undecided... I do not think it's unfair to do so.

And Xerxes and I will be here at your side no matter how things unfold.
