[That's the most important thing, isn't it?] This seems like the point to follow. They can argue all day about safety and worth. But this-

[Whether you want this or not. Do you? ]

[lestercraft]

The silence from Arthur probably goes on worryingly long, with how heavy that old emotional weight is sitting unmoving on his chest.

But finally, it shifts, buoyed by that tiny flicker of hope, a golden note in the dark. "...I don't want to lose him. Especially from my own actions. I don't... I don't want to make him leave, any more than I want him hurt because of me."

[You can only feel how you feel, Arthur. And you can only offer what you want. It's up to him to decide if he wants to accept that.]

A brief pause.

[I don't think you'll lose him if you do. He cares about you.]
