Why, because I looked you up online? In this day and age, that is not sneaky. Plus, you run an online business. Listen, a lot of shitty people have tried to actually kill me. You did hear me when I said that I have died and come back to life. You don't think I might be a little paranoid?

[He takes a breath. He's part of a multi-billion dollar inheritence and people send all sorts of weird shit his way. All sorts of strange people look him up and try to get into his circle. Plus, there's the enemies he has as Nitewing. He has to screen the people in his life. At least he was honest about it. Taking a beat, he sits up and blows out a breath.]

Lets see, my last relationship ended when a kid was killed in front of me and I couldn't stop it. I hid things from her because I wanted to fix all the problems and thought I could. I'm sure I was probably part of the reason he died and she got really pissed about it. Oh, sorry. The last, last one, just recently, I broke up with her because it wasn't as mutual as it should have been. She had a greater responsibility and life to lead than ending up with me. Before that? God, Fuck. I tried to fix something that went wrong and some shit came down really bad. People got hurt and it didn't work out after. Her and I were toxic together, we did things that weren't good for either of us. There, hows that?

[He gets up and starts pacing, because of all the guilt that sits deep in his stomach. He's worked so hard to move beyond it all. There's so much that he feels like is his fault. So fucking much. He's been working to be better, to do better, but he can't fix everything. ]

You wouldn't go exclusive with me. I'm saying that I know that, and I wouldn't have a reason to be possessive if you were. That would make no sense. If you were mine, why would I be possessive? But, that's a moot point. I understand it. Okay.
