Of course. This is the sort of situation that demands it. I just thought, perhaps incorrectly, that it would be more profound for someone of your time.
[Fear has been a constant in his life. It's a good thing, to be afraid. Comfortable and familiar. But some kinds of fear are easier to deal with than others, and he doesn't like this feeling of being trapped. He can't disappear. He can't slip into the Lonely. He can't go unseen, unheard, in to the fog and quiet, and he is terribly afraid of that. After the hands, it's already edging into 'too much' territory.
But his face doesn't betray anything. His smile and tone are consistently pleasant, in a 'talking to a store manager' sort of way.]
I'm well acquainted with fear myself. It's not such a bad thing, to be afraid.
[He's always willing to offer up his own fear to his god, even when he hates the kind of fear it is.]
