Oh, how the air shifted in a way that he knew she wasn't simply going to follow that request. Hazy the world might be to him at the moment, he still could read her… Not to mention his ears picked up on the whispered words she had uttered.
Though perhaps, in this moment, he wished he couldn't read the room quite so well. He could feel the pain behind those words, those actions. It only added more to his misery.
A shaky breath is taken in, he trying to get his mind to clear enough so he could properly address her.
❝ Mon papillon… Forgive me. I will explain everything… ❞
A shudder goes through him… The chills setting in.
❝ It has been months… Since about the time I faked my death. I allowed… Myself to undergo testing for the poison in my system… So that those also inflicted with it could have a cure without having to go through what I am… Or worse, be dead. I considered it a small price to pay.
Though, I will say, that does not excuse my choice to keep you in the dark after all is said && done. My only excuse I can offer… Was I did not wish for you to worry more about me… But I am aware that is a foolish reason for not telling you. ❞
