[Okay. Okay, so... gratitude. Sincere... gratitude. It's not like he hasn't felt plenty of it, just. Saying it is hard. Saying it out loud to someone in particular is harder still. It really shouldn't be, but it's not like he does it a lot. Maybe that really is the problem.

Um, so... listen. I guess I haven't really... I mean- I have thanked you, just... [He scuffs a hand through his hair, trying to sort through the words.] -You've done a lot, okay? You didn't have to give me a chance when I was a dick at the start, you didn't have to forgive me when I woke up and tried to kill you, you didn't have to put up with my face all the time.

For accepting me, for hearing me out... for helping. If- if that makes sense.
