[He listens to Will's answer in silent, only gently bobbing his head once as the man speaks on the risks that are encountered in every day living. It's true, all of it. Could horrifying disasters happen at any moment, at any time? Possibly. The "possible" aspect is minuscule at best, but still in the realm of what could happen. Isn't the porter a similar risk? He thinks as much.]

A sound answer. Not something easy to keep in perspective. [He means that with honest respect. Risk is always present in life, big or small, and people always look at the bigger ones with alarm. Marriage is one of those large risks. He wouldn't compare it to going out in the sun like Will does, but he understands the point. Fear should not prevent people from living - educate them on how to live, in some ways, but not control them.] Your wife's answer is interesting too, though I can't share her sentiment.

I'm sure you've heard plenty of detractors, but don't pay mind to them. Love is...powerful. People always underestimate it, see it as weakness, but I think that's because they don't understand it. Don't see the value. I think denying love is such a sad way to live.

[Love, for him, has always been mysterious because while he feels it he can't always comprehend it. Logically he sees how it forms, but past that? It's hard. He's grown to have love for a lot of people that he never expected to. He doesn't feel ashamed or weak for feeling it, but he only finds it curious. Unexpected, completely so.

He smiles ruefully and takes a small sip from his glass and lets out a gentle laugh after.]

I must not seem like the type to say that, do I?

[Can he say how Will sees him? Not yet, no. However he knows his actions make impressions, even if they are not seen.]
