...did I offend you? I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to imply that I felt you weak of heart or incapable.

[His expression softens as he looks down at his hands.]

I'm worried about everyone, and I know how it feels to think that you can't...talk with anyone, regardless of what the reason may be. The offer I extended...well, if you didn't ever have need of it...

[Ion looks back up again, smiling as ever.]

That would only be a comfort.
