[ Said that way, any other man might agree with Laurent's words. It's true, he has done all those things. It's true, he raised a whip to Damianos' back with the intention to harm, and to kill.
Nikandros has told him time and again, the depth of his loyalty is both a blessing and a curse. Damianos would raise continents for those he held dear, and then would impale himself on the sword that same person held. He cannot explain to Laurent the limit of his affection.
Likely, he does not have one.
He does not reach out to take his hand again, but watches his face, steadfast and unwavering. ]
