...I won't lie, I am slightly angry--with you and with Clarith both.

But that doesn't mean- [The words came out haltingly, like a concept he was only now just starting to fully comprehend.] -...that doesn't mean I hate either of you. Family should be able to argue and bicker and come to disagreements without turning into...spite and blood feuds. Without despising each other.

[Few people understood the alternative better than 'Ardyn Izunia', after all.]

If we're upset, it's...because we care about you.
