Hythlodaeus knows he's been acting especially off lately. Ever since he helped Amelia kill that SIN Guard his nightmares have been worse, he's been cranky, and it weighs on him horribly. He doesn't understand how people do it regularly- or even enjoy it- because he's been nothing short of miserable and he never even touched the victim!

Tonight he sits beside Emet-Selch on the couch where he's reading, and tries to cuddle up to him. But he's obviously unhappy about something still, even when he's buried himself in the one person who makes him feel safe.

"Would you love me even if I'd done something awful?" The question is sudden, as if he couldn't stop himself.
