My chest feels very strange right now.
"Whatever aid I have given you, I am glad of it. You for your part have taught an old beast what it is to look up to women instead of taking them for granted." His voice sounded strained, and he blinked again, shaking his head slightly.
"I am a little...dazed, I suppose, is the word, but..."
He chose his words carefully.
"If you must go, and it is your choice, then I should be glad for you. This place is too cramped and full of squabbles and miseries for one such as you. I always thought so."
He wasn't glad for her. He was fighting himself inside. But other than that he meant every word.
