(Lucretia clicks her tongue, suddenly sympathetic.) I know exactly what you mean.
(The twins had been difficult, at first. Didn't help that it took a while for Lucretia to be able to tell them apart with confidence; didn't help that her first assumption of the both of them had been entirely wrong. When it had come to Taako, he hadn't really given her an inch until she had learned how to open up to him. He really had seen right through her, in some ways.)
I know that this isn't the answer you're looking for, but the best way to reassure him is just to be there. He's used to people leaving. He's used to being on his own with Lup, that'sā uh, the default, in his mind, I think. (She looks at the fire, rubs her arm slowly as she speaks.) So I think the best way to let him know that is just to keep being physically there for him when you can. He might not always say that he needs it, but deep down, he does. He'll appreciate that.
