Darius was surprised by the question. He stared at Tristan. "I suppose.. when you get used to it, people can enjoy physical contact. But affection... " he laid back in his chair. "How can it not be terrifying? You have to drop your guard even if you know the other won't kill you. Good things don't happen... even when I finally grew the courage to do it, it wasn't worth it to me. Though I guess others crave it enough. Maybe it takes just the right person to make it pleasant." He sighed.
