[ dion watches the memory play out, the sight of a manor under attack far too familiar, though at first he struggles to reconcile what he's seeing. watching the scene from guy's eyes—young, small, and far too vulnerable—it's difficult to make sense of how safety and love could be tarnished so easily, and so suddenly.
but they are. trampled like a flower under the gait of a boot. dion comes back to himself with a lingering sense of terror, and glances over at guy with an apologetic frown. ]
All those that mocked you for your phobia have much to apologize for, Sir Guy. Myself included.
You were but a child. To undergo that level of difficulty... [ his mouth opens to continue, but he stops ]
... It is no easy thing to lose one's home. I can tell you that I am sorry that this is what you are left with to remember those who have their lives for you, but I know it will do little to ease the hurt.
[ he shakes his head, patting guy on the shoulder ]
I have full faith that you will overcome this, but you needn't despise your mind for trying to protect you.
[ as for the question... ]
Nothing quite like this. I was trained in combat from a young age, moreover Castle Whitewyrm [ yes i know ] had stringent defences. I suppose I had a rather sheltered childhood.

[ guy was impassive as this played out, but his fists were clenched at his side. ]
It's no big deal. Honestly, it is pathetic of me. They gave their lives for me, and all I can think about is how "scary" they are.

[ but awww, dion.... he does look kind of touched ]
No, I appreciate it. You're always so kind, Dion. Can I ask.... do you have some kind of experience with that?

.... Thanks.
[ he doesn't say much else on the topic, because it's a bit uncomfortable to accept comfort. ]
Mostly in the walls of the castle, huh? Still, there's a lot of pain that can happen even in so called shelter.
