He can’t fucking stand just sitting here so he drops into a kneeling position and gently tugs Casper towards his lap. If Casper really doesn’t want to, he won’t force it, but he desperately wanted to comfort him. “You’re not an awful person. You’ve been nicer to me than anyone else has ever been in my life in three worlds. And I’m only— if I’m kind and gentle to you it’s because I’m giving back what you give to me, baobei, you’re so sweet, and I don’t care if you’re bad luck, I am too, I’ve had the worst role I could have been given for decades of— being a person no one can like or respect just counting down to my inevitable murder— I’d rather die with you than without you. And anyway we’re both pretty… strong and stuff… maybe together we can save each other. I don’t… please, Casper, I don’t want you to leave me.” He might be crying a little bit. It was terrifying how fast Casper collapsed into sobs and he feels like it’s his fault he did something wrong. He always does something wrong.
