[A puzzled look, though there's a slow glimmer of understanding as the seconds pass. He's seen and fought the worst in men's hearts, and the darker "connotations" of being friends with a young innocent princess are definitely real.

Mind if I guess? You're worried that if someone's friends with you, others will think they only want something from you in return.
It wasn't really explained. I just know that it may explain why so few people want anything to do with me...

Overall, I think it was supposed to happen.

He’s got a lot on his shoulders. You keep being there for him, okay? And I’ll be there for you both.

Hey, Marc...? Is it..."wrong" to be friends with me? I was told there are connotations about being friends with me...
