There is a difference, Gustavain thinks, between running away from something: fear, emotional intimacy, feeling something too deeply and allowing the tension to ease, the pressure to release. The emotional weight of what he's had to bear would be too much for anyone and he just keeps having to bear it and if the only way to vent some of that pressure is in bed, is that actually unhealthy in some way? Particularly with a partner he loves?
(He knows what running from his emotions looks like. He saw it at Whitebrim. This is not that.)
"You did," he confirms and his tone speaks volumes. "I didn't realize it until then, but we've never actually performed for each other, have we?"
