( Ja'far's quiet for a long beat, staring at Sinbad, and then to the side. )
...My needs are irrelevant, at least in regards to this. I am by your side, that's all I've really wanted. ( He looks back up at Sinbad, focusing on him, staring him down in turn. )
You can't put my needs ahead of everyone else's, Sin. Not Sindria, not our companions, not anyone. Not even you. What we've built, what we continue to build, is what is important. Not whether or not I get to share your bed. ( At least, outside of this place. )
I can be with you here, and in a way that makes me happy. I can strengthen you by being by your side, by sharing myself with you more. It's... this place, I would not trade Sindria for it, not ever, but if that is balm I can have here, then I will take it. I love you, Sin, but I cannot place that above what we have worked our entire lives for.
