I appreciate your confidence in me. But even so, I rather not mess up something as...delicate as this. [ Also you shouldn't trust him, Qrow!! ]

I can certainly understand that and where the worry comes from. Not wanting to be a bother, not wanting people to hear or see what it is that plagues you.

[ Even now Ozpin has some caged feelings about the whole thing, but what is he to do? If he doesn't bond then, well, he dies. Which would make matters entirely more complicated. ]

But you're not going to be a bother, Qrow. [ Ah there we go. That's the callout he's been trying to avoid through this entire conversation. ]

If you think you're the only one who feels like they're more trouble than their worth, I doubt it, truly. [ Ozpin, on the one hand feels similar, but he's not going to ever express that. The unspoken truth, the lies, the trust he and the others have put in him. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all? But he knows the other man and he knows he won't bond with anyone unless pushed. ]

If not me then at least someone you feel you can be yourself around.
