[He raises a good point. The Outsider has to bite his tongue on the first thing that comes to mind, an old man wasting away (it's Daud, that's why), but he tilts his head to look at Corvo and consider this new and interesting proposal.
Happy? Him? How different.]
The Abbey. Why Corvo, you're trying to make me seem petty. [well....] I missed our little chats.
You are petty. [If Corvo is anything, it's honest. It wasn't said with any disdain he might have had if it weren't for their little... date, though, so there was that. He was making a big effort not to be paranoid, Outsider, appreciate him.]
You've interrupted my dreams before. [He starts, reluctantly, like this is an option but he isn't all that happy about it.] I don't see why you can't do it again. Holding back now, are we?
Petty is so human. [He is petty, but it doesn't count. But ah, Corvo would rather he invade his sleep? And here he thought he was being considerate.]
Perhaps I wasn't interested in new guard training, [he says, like that's all Corvo would have talked about. It's easier than admitting he might have wallowed in a little self-doubt, wondering if Corvo hadn't changed his mind. That's never stopped him before—ironic, that the more likely Corvo is to welcome his presence, the less readily he tries to give it.
And kissing his hand to apologize for being busy was kind of hot, in a dating-your-god way. But mostly the other thing. He leans his head sideways on Corvo's shoulder.] You do know how to summon me. Try it sometime before you drift off to sleep.
