[ Among other things. ]
But I don't understand where this is coming from or... or how. She's engaged! I think...

... I don't think she'll want to see me.

[ He avoids her gaze, the colour from his face finally draining. ]
That... I needed to get groceries...?

[ He hesitated and it was all very confusing and happening so fast. ]

[ He regards Skye with uncertainty. ]

[ But after momentary reluctance, he shuts his eyes. ]
no subject
Pretend I'm her. I've just confessed to having feelings for you. You're... standing there feeling... whatever you were feeling in that moment.
no subject
It's a flurry of emotions. He can't figure out what he felt then other than confusion and from it, the panic that set in. His head spins again just thinking about it. ]
I... I don't know.
[ He sighs, opening his eyes. ]
I've never been good with things like this...
no subject
... Well. I suppose... you don't need to understand how you feel right away. Feelings are very complex things! ... Maybe you just need to... sleep on it after all.
no subject
[ A part of him wants to know what on earth Kenzi sees in him to be romantically attracted in the first place. How many times has she almost seen that part of him he desperately tries not to fall into? ]
... I'm sorry for all the trouble.
no subject
... I'm sorry if I... pushed you too hard, or anything.
no subject
[ Well, not the questions about sexual compatibility, but he's not touching on that again. ]
This has never happened before. Well, it has, but not like this. [ Marriage proposals are hell. ] And we live together which complicates the matter...

[ He runs a hand through his hair, gripping the locks. ]
She said she wanted to... to date and k-kiss... hold hands...

[ He raises both hands, waving them side to side. ]
I'm not... I can't do this! I'm just a lowly servant!
no subject
no subject
And I'm not good enough for that.
[ Or her, he thinks. He's weak-willed and cowardly. Someone like Kenzi deserves better. Someone who will make her happy. He can't think of anything he can give her and he's certain it's not the lack of self-confidence colouring his opinion. ]
no subject
And what do you mean "not good enough"?
no subject
It's ridiculous. They will never be, but that's fine with him. As long as he has a place beside Oz, that's all that matters.
His temple prickles. He reaches up to rub it gently. ]
I can't break my promises.
[ He takes a deep breath. ]
I'm... [ He hesitates. ] I'm not... a strong person. I don't know anything about relationships or... or anything like that. I've only upset Kenzi.
... and she was engaged. There's already someone for her.
[ He doesn't know actually. Hale died, then Kenzi. Does she not love him anymore? ]
