[It sure would be nice if he could get through even one portion of one lifetime without hurting the people around him! But that would just be asking for too much, huh.
He's terrible with words where it counts, honestly, and maybe his actions won't help that much either. He brings their laced hands to his mouth to kiss Chuuya's knuckles and then leans forward: two more, for his forehead, for his lips. It's soft, lingering, apologetic.]
I am fond of you, you know - I like you a lot. [He can't deny that Chuuya's one of the handful of people he's especially tender toward, whose company he enjoys and seeks out more than the rest, as much as he likes almost the entirety of the ship.] And I hate seeing that kind of look on your face.
[Which he assumes he'd be seeing a lot of if he stuck around, haha! He's a mess of a human being in a borrowed body who hasn't experienced love he hasn't been blind to in years and years, and he wants better than himself for someone he cares about.]
