Gin, for once, let out a low whimper. That is what he was afraid of, Effy moving away from him in fear. He stood still for several moments, in utter horror. He had heard her in her sleep a few times, about her fear of magical beings, of why. Though he never brought it up to her because that was her personal business that she didn't want to talk about, and he wasn't going to force her to do so. But it always weighed heavily on his mind, always. All those nights of speculating how she would react if she found out, and now he knew. It was something he didn't want to see, not now, not ever again. This was just horrible.

"Effy..." Gin manages out, sucking in a sharp breath, he didn't dare raise his hands towards her at the moment. He wasn't sure what to do, how he could fix this. "Effy, look at me, please. Please look at me." Out of instinct, Gin lowered his head a bit, looking towards Effy with a somewhat lowered gaze. His shoulders remained slumped, he wasn't moving to close her in or anything, despite so badly wanting to hold her and tell her that he 'was human'. His look now was one of submission. But in his mind now, the only thing he could really do was be completely honest with her. 

"Effy, I'd never hurt you. Not now, not in a hundred years, not ever. I'd rather end myself than do that, I can't even imagine harming you. I've only ever wanted to keep you safe, from the very moment we met. You've got a very special place in my heart, I don't like many people, human or magical being... I love you. I love you so much that it physically hurts just thinking of anyone else touching you, or you loving anyone else." Gin sort of stopped talking for a few moments, slowly lifting a slightly shaky hand to place it over his heart. His chest felt so heavy, he was quite sure his heart was going to beat right out of his chest already.

"I... I understand if you don't want my help, or to see me ever again..." He slowly lifts both his hands up, raking them through his chair, pushing it back from his eyes while he looked at her. "I am one of those monsters you are so afraid of. If I could just lay down and die right now I would, because you being afraid of me is enough to kill me. But you are still in danger and I fully intend to keep you from that necromancer and whomever else might head your way to hurt you." At this point, Gin was now looking at Effy's feet. He couldn't look at her crying face. If he did, there was a good chance he was just going to topple over onto the floor like a ragdoll.
