[He cranes looks down at her and cranes his head to try and get her to look at him.]
You don't have to temper it alone. I'm a blacksmith. Tempering things is literally in my job description.
[He gives her a little smile before he continues.]
All joking aside, you wouldn't leave me to fight my demons and insecurities alone. What makes you think I'd let you do it?
...Look, you've chided me before about making sweeping, unrealistic promises. So I won't. Because you're the type who favors real, tangible results. Actions you can see and experience. Solutions you can witness. So I'll promise this:
For as long as we are together? I want to sooth your worries. I can't take away the burns but I can make it so that you don't mind them.
