"Insulted? I mean, believe me, there's no way I'm insulted or hurt by that. I'd be worried too. I'm worried about everything, all the time. I flip out over stuff pretty easily, too. I get where you're coming from. A little worried is good. I mean, that's a lot better than freaking out, right? I'm honored by a little worried. Overjoyed by it."

And it's not just hyperbole. He really is glad that Ned can manage to be a little worried instead of panicking, because as someone who worries all the time about things out of his control, he can far too easily relate to what Ned's saying. And his own secrets aren't nearly as big as Ned's. Which is why he snuggles a little closer to Ned, and speaks again, in a tone like he's confessing something serious.

"I feel kinda guilty. I mean, I know this huge secret about you that nobody else knows, and that nobody else has ever known, and I don't think there's anything you know about me that's that big. It seems like an unequal exchange, you know? It seems like I'm in your head in a way you wouldn't want me to be, and that seems kinda unfair."
