[What he "should" be able to feel or what is "possible" hardly matters at the moment when Kravitz knows he can feel his heart breaking. Taako deserves better than this. Better than the fear and confusion painted on his face, and far better than anything Kravitz is managing to offer him right now, that's for sure.

On the other hand, he's not going to just give up because of some petty self worth perception issues.

He holds out a hand to Taako once more, still not deterred, hopeful and gentle and firm.]

Just breathe. That's all you have to do. Breathe, and take my hand. We won't go anywhere you don't want to.

[He smiles at Taako.]

If it brings you any comfort, we both know you could kick my ass if you wished to.
