[HE'S THE CROUCHING GLOOMY HIDDEN DEPRESSO WITH A POISED EXTERIOR. Sometimes you're just out here!!
In any case, his point had been that he's not even worth a sentence like "I don't want to see you hurt", regardless of explanations or anything else. It's always better for people to keep away, and he prefers it if he doesn't take up even a second in someone else's mind.
He's already thrown a lot on poor Mandricardo's plate tonight, though, so he'll keep the rest of that to himself for the time being. Instead, he only says:]
It's precisely because of that kindness that I've said what I've said. [GOD. His expression is a little hard to read then, as he shifts the blade against the flame.]
...May I ask you something? I don't want to pry either, and it's a personal question, so you don't have to answer.
