Also very much an act of intimacy for him, to give any control to another person.

The second mindlink also. Rozemyne is not quite catching on to what it means that he is revealing himself in this way, though I mean, it’s been kind of a crazy couple of days, it’s not like she’s really had time to get her bearings.

I was terrified she might reject him when he laid out her three choices and revealed that he actively wanted to marry her ;-) , glad she found language that worked and got past the “but wait, I suck, you don’t want that, let me save you from it.”
