"That's no trouble, you don't need to force yourself to do anything you aren't comfortable with. My partner likely asked me to speak with you because I possess the ability to communicate with him through thought, rather than word. I understand it can be very difficult when you feel frightened or upset, but lack the means to show your partner why...If you feel up to it, I would be happy to try and help you if I'm able. Please, though, don't feel pressured."

[The Gallade waves an arm, trying to make the situation less tense or upsetting in any way he could.]

"If you'd rather not, we could speak about how long you've been with your partner or what sorts of things you've seen together. Anything is fine, really."
