"I did not mean those words the way they sounded, Nathaniel," he murmurs mournfully, filling his words with his gift, letting Nathaniel feel his sorrow.
"Despite all I have done, all I am," he kneels down, slowly edging a little closer, "you love me. I wanted you to take me, as Jean Claude once did." He bows his head, ashamed. "It seems I find it more difficult to separate the act from my own memories than I had expected. I did not intend to punish myself, to use you in that way. I love you, mon chat, I swear I had no intention of hurting you so."
