No one is invincible. [ He murmurs back, voice quiet. ] And I already told you that I don't die that easily. I've been poisoned, I've been beaten, chased, and tricked, I've made decisions that will probably create chaos in the future because I believe people can change. I want to hope that it won't come to light, even if I'm scared. I've starved, thirsted for water, I've offered my own life for Arthur's--
[ His voice cracks a little, before he continues. ]
--I've taken a life for my friends, fought against a dangerous sorcerer that tried to take over my body, I've caused the death of countless of others by leading Arthur to a group of people who practiced magic for good because he believed Morgana was kidnapped...
Stop. Blaming. Yourself. No matter what you did, it's no where near as bad as what other people have done to me before--or what I've done to them. I'm not saying that you have to be protected, you cabbage head. [ YEAH!!! ] I'm saying that you're making things worse for yourself by trying to take more responsibility than you need to.
If you want to get stronger, then do it. Learn to wield something, because you'll probably need it here. [ He pulls back to press his hand under her chin, getting her to look at him then. ] You are strong, you don't need to prove anything to me.
