I want you to remember that the only way you can't get any better at all is if you give up.
I want you to remember that a lot of people love you.
I want you to rest. Actually rest. When you're ready. [He is getting the idea that that isn't happening tonight.] Because while I want to be there to help you fight, I don't want to have to hope from the sidelines that you'll always get lucky.
I want to share a meal with you. And another after that, and then another. Because there's a lot I still want to share with you, no matter what happens.
I want to feel like my words still matter to you. I want you to remember that I never say things that I don't already mean with all my heart.
I really like you. And I trust you. I want to be here for you, and with you. I want to give you someone to talk to. I want to understand.
I just need you to talk to me, and to listen to what I have to say. If we can't do that, we'll never understand each other. And if we don't understand each other, then we'll never be able to help each other.
Thanks for still... being with me, even now. Even when you were Tarvos.
( Despite the things he said, he stayed. He... kept his promise, in the end, even if Macha had feared he would not. )
I'll remember this. All this. I might not do it right, at first, but... I mean it.
I just reached the Gate, so I won't respond to any messages for a bit, but I'll see you soon. Not long from now. ( And he does mean it, give or take time spent on his (lack of) navigational sense. ) I'll cook us a recipe from the game's library when I'm back.
[He's seen FD's comment by now, and it makes his stomach twinge in the light of this entire conversation. But he keeps it close to his chest, despite his upset at the choice.]

Please be careful.
