How can I refuse?
[he stopped as they reached the middle of the bridge, his hand still shaking. He turned his head, looking out over the bay. After a moment, he kissed Izumi. Probably his first genuine kiss, and not something laced with sarcasm or annoyance.]

eternal torture and torment.
Yet when it came to you….I was powerless. I resented you. Thinking his attentions was misplaced. But your laugh, your smile.
Oh, I kept my peace. And then the monster came, masking as me, hurting you…/hurting/ you.
I do not deserve your love. Yet you give it to me+

How could I not? He hurt the one person I /truly/ cared for. Lord Zenos was but an ends to the means. A way to remain close to…you.

Stop…
[His hand shook, clearly he was upset with Izumi’s words]
I watch. I saw. I know what he did to you. I was powerless to stop it from happening. I-
I used my love for our Lord as a distraction. Used him to pretend that what he did, did not hurt me. I told him as much, as I dragged him deep+

Do not be ridiculous, Izumi.
[He continues walking, guiding them to a noodle shop that was a fair bit out of the way]
I’ve loved you for some time, yet you chase others. You tease and tease them, making me jealous. You wonder why I never confessed? That is why.

What? No! You didn’t give me an order, so I see no reason to kiss your entire body.

Of course I do. But you never believe me.

Perhaps they hate you and claim it is love.

Have you told it to stop that.

That’s because I /actually/ do. And others find you easy to bully. They are not wrong, but.

I do not hate it.
In fact, I quite loath it, because I cannot even kill the mice that try to sneak into the estate.

Not really, if I'm to be honest. Did I hate it when you first put them on me? Yes. Have I grown accustomed to them since? ...debatable.
I have no real desire to hurt you, Izumi. I... enjoy your company far too much.
