To know Vex'ahlia here will be to know the people she's sleeping with, and he can't bear the idea of losing touch with her.

"I don't plan to be hostile without provocation, either." He'll be as meek as a lamb, if he has to be. (If he's capable of it.) "I meant what I said earlier - I'd like to know her, if I can."
