I can't really help who I fall for, especially when you keep being so sweet to me. I don't even think you realize how endearing some of the things you say are.

[ He just sighs, a familiar fond look in his eyes as he looks to Dimitri ]

But that's part of why I want to help you and your brother. Partly because I'm your friend and I care about you, and partly because it'll give you the opportunity to give an answer that's not forced by your situation.

And again, you don't get to decide what can and can't make me happy. I'll have you know just being your friend has made me pretty happy in the time I've been here.
