[ He's well aware that he's said too much. However, he'll take what little autonomy enchantment allows. Better for her to stammer and shy from him, than for her to be completely overwhelmed if he confessed the depth of his fondness for her. Better for her to know of his fondness for her mind and body and compassion and grace, than for three treacherous words to push her away entirely.
As suspected, she regains her composure quickly. In comparison, behind his muted visage, he is reeling.
He knows why she asks, for his words had implied as much. However, he doesn't wish to curry her pity, or for her to extend her compassion to him because he sees himself as unworthy. For all that he has done, he is undeserving.
This is simply as it should be. ]
Your generosity is yours to give, just as those who stand beneath the sun are blessed by its light and warmth.
But know that there are those who have done wrong, that the light still touches.
