( to hold back like that, when technically it could be easier to just do it all the time--well, maybe not, given that this place seems to be giving him a hard time. )
If you wanted to read me, I wouldn't mind. But then if you don't like what you learn, I'd like you to un-read me.
( it's not possible, but: easier to make a gentle joke, like that, than admit that it would be hard on him. )
If I can help, any time...Please tell me. I don't have a lot I can offer, except copious amounts of blood, but that may not be helpful to you. At best, I can make a good shield when necessary. And I'll learn a sword. ( oh, now he sounds determined. )
