No, no, no. It was not his choice to make, and he told her so. "If you want me to know, of course I'd like to. I wanna know-- everything. But don't tell me just because you think you should, for whatever reason."

He tilted his head to look her square in the eyes, and said very seriously, "My diabolical plan is to keep you forever, remember? You're not gonna scare me away." Because he was pretty sure that's what she was worried about, at least partly. She'd been hated, feared, shunned, hunted, and ultimately imprisoned and tortured because of her gift - of course she would be worried he'd end up like so many others that she'd known.
