[A breath of his own.] In the end, if that is your decision, know that I won't cause any problems for you. You've done far too much for me to let me do that in good conscience. I'm a better person for having met you.

[Taking back his hand, he pushes himself up to his feet.] I just came to deliver the flowers. Try to take care of yourself, alright, Lysunder? Sollux will worry.
