[He shuts the water off, squeezing the rag dry and not looking over to Mattias still. Earlier today-- no, just seconds ago-- he was flirting considerably, and now this?
His mind is clearly at war with itself. And Oren intends to play to one side, but it enrages him to think that he has to argue it to begin with. That Mattias can want something but deny it selfishly.]
Of course not. [He folds the rag, hangs it over the faucet and steps back, turning to view him through the doorway now.] But do you not find it telling that we were so easily able to feel at ease with one another despite everything that has happened?
I don't aim to avoid your feelings or your thoughts, Mattias, but I do want to ask for forgiveness. At least allow me chances to prove myself, if that's the task you've set out.
