I don't doubt that. I've seen some rather surprising things in hearts before, even from people that I thought I knew well. You don't need to worry for me in that regard.
However, if it is what you wish for, I will remain here.
I'm not fond of them either. But I would like a chance to know you better.
[pauses a moment, working over the words in his head before speaking]
You're someone who's very important to friends who are dear to me, Guy. Perhaps more than that, you're a knight that I admire. You have a quiet determination and strength of spirit that befit someone of your senior standing.
It's something I've witnessed, in the way you hold yourself in games, the attention that you give to the needs of the realm. [nods to the doors] In the way that you hold those who are not with us at the moment in remembrance.

Are there any areas that you'd prefer that I avoid?

Guy?
Re: [Aather]
I don't mind it if you want to look around a little more.
Re: [Aather]
Is there any place you'd like for me to see?
Re: [Aather]
"I'll leave it up to you this time."
Re: [Aather]
Are you certain it's all right?

Re: [Aather]
And a bit embarrassed.
"That's a lot of praise."

There's a very loud shutter of gears, and Guy curses and presses his hand to his chest.
Re: [Aather]
Guy—?
Re: [Aather]
His movements seem a bit unnatural all of a sudden.
Re: [Aather]
What do you mean? What just happened?
Re: [Aather]
"Of all people... who just says that much out of the blue? You're really as honest as you seem, aren't you?"
Re: [Aather]
That—what I have said is my honest opinion of you, Guy. I don't understand what you mean . . .
Re: [Aather]
Re: [Aather]
[brushes his hand against Guy's shoulder a little before letting go]
What part of him are you?
Re: [Aather]
Jade, however, clears his throat.

Re: [Aather]
Is he really thrown off guard by honest praise like that?
