[ Somehow the lack of accusation, or anger or even really reproach, hasn't really sunk in just yet. Maybe it's because Poe's expecting a but to follow, some sort of confession, of an irrevocable change in how all of this has worked between them so far. Sure, he's been there before, but never with someone who he had this many feelings for, definitely never also with someone else he felt so strongly about.

It's such a simple answer too, just as straightforward as if it's the only logical conclusion that anyone could have come to.
