[Darin winces. Yeah, of course she would 'never.' Would anyone ever consider something like this with him? He doesn't blame her in the slightest but it still stings.]
[Though why it stings is a mystery to him. He's never been bothered by people being offended by his appearance before...]
[But he's not surprised Zelda would be so disturbed by the prospect of sleeping next to him. She'd have to endure the cramped space, he's bloody and gross...not to mention she's a princess and he's a commoner at best. The fact that she even let him rest in her bed is a charity in and of itself, one that he's about to impose upon more.]
[But they need to rest. His eyes are already burning and if he's this tired, Zelda must be ready to drop.]
[He spares a glance over at her and his eyes widen with alarm. She looks like she's about to faint dead away!]
