Really? I've always seen myself as weak... I barely survived growing up due to how frail I was. And no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to cross the line into being strong.
There is more to strength than power and a healthy body. You taught me that.
...Yeah, that's true! It's just too bad I can't have it both ways.
But I'm getting pretty emotional reading what you think of me.

Thank you. I used to be so afraid that I'd be left behind if I admitted how weak my body was.
[There's a sort of long pause before Alfred replies. Because the inclination is to promise the same thing back... but he can't. He has to think of something else to say. He can't promise to stay when he has so little chance to live much longer.]
That means a lot to me. I have to say, I get lonely really easily.

I do! It's separation that's hard. I can't stand much of being alone and quiet. What's better than working out with a buddy, you know?
I wouldn't know. I spent most of my life alone.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Even with people, I was lonely. I could never show my true face.

That sounds awful for you. I'm glad you show your true face now.
If you ever start to feel lonely again, let me know and I'll come running!

Yes! By horse or on foot, I will dash on over and cheer you up! I'll be the flower that is brought to you in the darkness.
It would mean a lot to me to be someone who brings comfort, so I hope you really do call for me whenever you need me.
I didn't know if it was a eat-in-private-type of meal, but they do look really good.
[ Though, if they keep this up, he's not going to end up eating anything at all –not that he minds. Either that or eating something else entirely, but he does manage to steal a few bites between kisses just to share.
He pulls away after a moment to wipe some of the crumbs off his chin. ]
I wonder if Sommie can have some. I've never seen him get sick from anything before.

I'll admit . . . such an idea has never crossed my mind before. I am not used to asking for anything. How could I?
But I will try.

I don't see why not. These are palatable by anyone's standards, I should think. They're not comparable to my own desserts.

Unless I visit you so often that you never miss me.
That would certainly be ideal.
Perhaps that will get me to change my habits.

[ He crouches down to feed Sommie, gratified when Sommie yips in pleasure. ]
I believe you have reached maximum approval with him.
[ He gives Rafal a kiss on the jaw after. ]
Thank you again. Did you have any special plans for the day? Were you planning on taking Alfred something too?
