There was clear confusion. "Why wouldn't we be? You .. you don't think I'd suddenly not like you or something because of your condition do you? You have no control over it, and it is scary but that is all. I am far more worried about how it affects you, but that has nothing to do with our relationship. It might be all the more reason for me to be here for you and try to put you at ease, maybe it'll happen less often?" Certainly a shot in the dark but worth a try.
