worry not. i warned him about whitey's tendency of not respecting the boundaries set by closed doors. i am not least surprised he escaped from his care.
[SORRY CHARLES. You just turned his attention more towards you.]
why'd i come to you about something you can't do anything about? ghost injuries, it's... it's not like we have bandages or anything here that work for me. if i get injured all i need to do is rest and wait for it to heal. it wasn't that i don't trust you, your grace. just, i'd feel right stupid, telling you, hey, i got injured, you can't really do anything about it though
it is true that there is a lot i don't understand about your condition or world. but i do know that even you can get hurt. i might not be able to dress your wounds or make them better, but i would still like to be there for you. support and care for you, to help ease the pain that i can. never feel that there is an issue too mundane or foolish to share with me. you are of great importance to me, i do not want you to be alone.
thanks. i mean it, that means a lot to me. but it's okay, i wasn't alone
and you know that goes both ways, yeah? you're really important to me. guess that's partly why i didn't wanna bother you... but you're right. i'd want to be there for you no matter what too, so i should do the same, shouldn't i? promise i'll try to do better from now on

injured? how?
no subject
oh, uh, don't worry about it. the ketsorans just got one lucky shot in, that's all
no subject
[Hm, okay. At least it wasn't more grave than that. Still, he doesn't like the underlying issue here.]
do you not trust me, Charles?
no subject
[ "not more grave than that"..... ha, ha. then again he'd downplayed it for everyone so it's not like richard is special! ]
what? of course i do!

[he will not tell Charles a shit...]
i do not take your trust for granted. i will work harder on protecting you for now on.
🎀 ?
and he thinks for a moment to just say, hey, you don't need to protect me at all — but he can already see how that would go badly. so, ]
thanks, your grace.
