I didn't mean to make him feel unwanted. You have to know I'm not lying about that. He's never been-- a shameful secret. I don't know what happened between him and Teddy any more than you do, but I told Teddy I'd spent nights with him. I'm not-- going into details about sex acts with him though... no more than I'd go up to you and tell you what I do with Teddy or anyone else. And apparently Teddy was under the impression what they did was a one time thing? Not something to really go talking about.

[He flirted with, and kissed Loki, pretty openly at the housewarming party though. He'd more or less told Kate that they'd been together. Billy doesn't think that says shame.] I don't know what else Loki told you about that night, but I was trying to explain that to him. Just because Teddy and I don't talk details about anyone to each other or other people doesn't mean I'm hiding it. And then he started trying to start fights between Teddy and I. Maybe I shouldn't have lost my temper, but... if I don't know what he wants out of a relationship with me, how am I supposed to know how to approach it? I'm not a mind reader.

[He lets out a sigh of his own, taking a moment to calm down.] I know he's in a bad spot... that's why I wanted to take care of him when we found him on the bench. I was and am worried for him. I do care. But... he doesn't believe it and I don't know how to change it. He called it token kindness, you know. I didn't just-- go up to him so I could pat myself on the back later, Verity. I'm not like that.

[And a little quieter--] I don't know. Maybe I'm just not good for him or something.
