Ah... I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to drag you into my life's story like that.

[He got to his feet, letting his hair collapse in front of his eye again. He's not so blind as to miss the lapse back into uncomfortable territory.] Maybe it would be best if I let you be. But... please don't misunderstand. I'm not asking you to pity me, and I'm not asking for forgiveness or understanding.

Well... I hope everything goes well for you on the Chalice, Laura. [He turned on his heel, towards the door. If Laura has anything else on her mind, now would be the time to say it.]
