It hurts, seeing Summoner give up like that, and Darkleer can't help but feel like he's disappointed him somehow. He doesn't mean to ruin things like this.
Taking a deep breath, he tries to search his memories for something suitable. Is this the right way to go about things? If only there was a guide. He's hardly a novice to flushed romance, but he's simply never had to deal with this before.
"I... wasn't particularly skilled in the beginning. I still couldn't quite control my strength, and bow and arrow alike were more likely to break in my hands than anything. I was never particularly social before for that reason alone. They used to speak of me behind my back, the other recruits. It... Well, it was far from pleasant." His shoulders hunch up and he pauses. "I'm sure you understand."
This is stupid and ridiculous and what is he even talking about. Aren't there more pressing matters he could have chosen than childish foolishness? Darkleer's ears press down and he glances away almost in embarrassment.
