! [Things? What? What things. Are you having the we-have-to-talk talk already? But you barely know each other!] Er... You do? [How do people stop this sort of thing?]
I hate that you're evil. I don't even think you're really evil. Angry and sad and lonely and so many other messed up things, but not evil. I tried to act like I didn't care but I think it's stupid that you're wasting your life trying to do something so awful. But... I still understand why you do it, because it sounds like your life was horrible when you were a child... And it probably still is.
But...
I like you. A lot. I like you an alarming amount, and I want to be with you. It would be a horrible, unhealthy mess, but I don't care.

I get the evil thing. You're a good guy. If you liked me being evil, that'd be weird, but... [Continues to watch you warily.] You feeling alright? Get hit in the head recently? Come down with a fever?
Don't be sad! Er... Look, I'm bad at this kind of thing. Talking to people. I spend most of my time with robots for a reason. I guess what I'm trying to say, I mean...

"Ok" doesn't cut it? I don't think anybody else is ok. [He squirms uncomfortably.]

[Why? She has no idea. She really rather not. But like she said... She has to, quite suddenly and without explanation.]

You're better than ok, I guess... That's--that's not good enough, is it.
[Takes a very long, deep breath and blurts out:] Ilikeyoutoook!
[And then he runs away.]

Possibly there is tackling.
Who says a princess can be rough when she needs to be?]
