You do not need to explain yourself. I mean it, I am glad to hear it. It wasn't a slight, I wasn't teasing you.

I like to watch you struggle and think, I like to watch your mind work, even if I don't always like where it ends up. I love the wonder in you, and the doubt, in equal measure.
Besides, we both know how easily I could charm someone into loving me blindly.
