In retrospect, it does sound like he's making a lot out of nothing. Sewing isn't exactly as bad as half of the things he's heard about, but he still feels better once Wrathion doesn't have any trouble taking a break from it. That has to be a good sign.

When he mentions 'the box' he looks away and tries not to sound as concerned as he is.

"I still have it." For lack of an alternative. He still doesn't feel any better about keeping someone's beating heart hostage. At all. "I thought it'd be safer once we were out of the city, but the ghosts seem to have sticky fingers."
