Not exactly. I've had strangers who have tried to befriend me, only their intent was to manipulate me. I can't stand it. I can't stand anyone using me that way.

People in this world can be very cruel to one another. I'm sorry that you've had to suffer through these things. [ and with a solemn bow of his head, ] I will treasure the trust you've put in me, that you may worry just a bit less.

It's the same with my friends - doing what they thought was right without regard to the consequences. Even I have found that I may have been too harsh with them in trying to do the right thing. We don't always take the time we should to think things through.
Laudna-dono, if you ever find that I've done something of the kind, please let me. I will try to make it right.

there's really no other reaction needed here. iwatooshi just dips his head again, ever so slightly, before inhaling and exhaling deeply, as if to breathe out his worries. ]
Now, then. I didn't mean to distract you from what you came here for.
