Kid, I feel like yelling

The paint drying by Rexanna would have taken his attention at any other time as the colour shifted with time, but now he was only focused on her and her words. The question she posed to him was a difficult one, one that he wanted to say 'no!' to but didn't know if he could with a fully honest heart. So much would change. Were they ready?
"...I suppose. I do want this. I just--" Bastien shook his head, put down his charcoal and leaned against an untouched part of the wall, looking into the corner. "I've seen you come home half-dead and hurt several times. I took your body from the Spire and Rexanna, you were limp in my arms--" He held out his hands before him, shaking as he remembered how she had felt.
"I cannot do this alone and I worry you'll leave me, if you want the full truth of it. Not...not willingly. But you don't...you don't think before you jump into danger and one day it will catch you, Rexanna." He had barely spoken a critical word to her before and it felt odd to speak it, but he felt relieved for having said what had been on his mind.
