[she probably expects him to say it's the best for him. people are selfish as much as they are liars. and some, when there's the smallest sign of commitment, they flee. but Robin isn't thinking of himself -- he hardly ever does. he's thinking of her and what's best for her. he can't be the reason she loses her head and her heart goes haywire.
the repercussions he fears are the ones she'll go through. he's no good. he's muddy water compared to her fine wine. he's the slums and she's a castle. a small one, but one all the same. Robin Hood breaks others' laws without regard, there are some of his own.
what he fears isn't so immediate. it's much farther down the line.
explaining himself will take courage that Robin doesn't possess. it's better to make an incredulous sound that Nero manages to beg without begging. she's no peasant in the slums, there's no need to beg. she could have anything she wants, yet she stands there willing to do what she can to make him stay.
and who else has done that? nobody in his human life. nobody in his Servant life. what does she need-- no, why does she need someone like him?
more conflicted than ever, he finally moves. his hands grasp her face as he did earlier but it's so he can tilt it up and lock two very different shades of green together. it's not long before Robin loses nerve and looks somewhere off to the side.]
Alright. There's one thing. [if she expects him to ask her to do something profound--] Pretend you're a cat.
