[ He was quiet for a long moment, a frown slowly pinching at his brow. ]
You were kind. And you were cute. Before you even had any idea of who I was.
[ He looked back at her. ]
Don’t think like that. I’m not here to get something out of you. I don’t care what magic you can or can’t do. I mean I love talking magic don’t get me wrong, but...
[ He let out a breath and dropped his eyes to his feet. ]
Most people don’t like me much. Not for long, anyway. They like what I do and they’re happy to use it, and it’s fine by me because it means I can get a night’s rest or whatever but.. mm. They like the mask, not the man. I guess. So they get disillusioned fast.
[ The corner of his mouth twitched up. ]
You knew I can be a fucking idiot from the first moment you met me, and you’re still kind to me. And you never ask me for anything and sigh when I try to do anything for you anyway.

Why wouldn’t I want to be friends?
