He nods, he knows both of these things to be true and he leans in to press a kiss to her temple reassuringly. He knows it's a lot for her to say, that she'd do everything she can to stop him from hurting more people. "You know me well enough to know that's exactly what I would want, I don't wanna hurt people anymore 'Tasha. Coming out of that was so fucking scary.."

His voice is somber as he says it but his hand is still petting through her hair fondly trying to keep it a little lighter even has the cross heavy topic after heavy topic.

"There were so many memories of hurting people, that when the first one of you came along -- I thought maybe I hurt you too.. forced you?" he explains a little hesitantly, shyly. Even though he knows it's not the case now, he wants to explain why he'd asked so early if he'd ever hurt her. "If my brain was playing tricks of me."
