"We can go outside, but I just don't see what you see in it," he told her honestly. "I've seen empires fall... kings and queens die and their children rise. It's all the same to me. I don't see what you think is so lovely about it. That is because I have seen so much in my life that things have lost most appeal to me. It's not that I ...don't appreciate people. It's just I'm tired of watching so many ruin their lives despite history of results being the same."
He gently stroked her cheek. He felt bad... He could tell she wasn't as old as he and enjoyed life still. She seemed to have a real fire in her. "I will go outside for you, but we have to do it my way okay? I won't risk you getting hurt." He would at least try... He wanted to make sure she was happy. He wanted her to be herself... but he was scared she'd get hurt. Those fears were in his eyes as he looked upon her.
