[He really doesn't need it, but if Rinwell feels like it's necessary, it's not as if he's going to refuse it, either. He just wants her to know that he doesn't feel like she did anything that requires an apology.
But more importantly—Rinwell looks up, and it gives Law all the conviction he needs to keep going. He knows he's going to have to go slow, to talk through all the smaller things he missed, or expand on the things he already said last time. And he wants Rinwell to actually understand him, because he knows she really didn't before.
He really, really doesn't want to mess this up.]
You asked me before why I was defending Almeidrea and I couldn't give you an answer. I didn't know why I was doing it, but after thinking about it... I wasn't defending her. The things she's done are indefensible. I just—I saw that look in your eyes...
That anger, that fury, I just kind of "got it," y'know? [Because of what happened with Zephyr and Ganabelt partially, but he doesn't really want to make this about him in that sense.] And I just knew I couldn't let you carry that weight alone.
[There's more to it, of course. But Law still pauses, offering a gentle, sympathetic glance while giving Rinwell a moment to process his words.]
