His eyes widen as he takes in her reaction. What - what did he say wrong? She almost looks like she's going to faint! And what do Lin and Aqua have to do with anything?
He leans forward to steady her, his other hand falling to rest on top of hers, trying to offer comfort and support - something to hold on to. His voice is worried and contrite.
"I'm sorry! Did I say something that..." The realization hits him like a brick wall. She thinks that loving others means I don't love her.
...Oh. He's not quite sure how to approach that. "Sheska, I..." His voice grows softer and more uncertain, though it remains incredibly sincere. "...I did have feelings for both Lin and Aqua, it's true. But that doesn't mean I ever liked you any less. I realized I liked you last summer, and that's never changed."
His voice grows a little more confident. "I'd like to be with you. I'd like to be there for you when you need someone, to have you there for me when I need the same. We've always been there to support each other, I just... I want you here. I want you closer."
