[Ezio has to wonder over these set of words as well, and the text takes a few minutes to get back to Martin.]
Have you considered that he wants to be around your presence at all? In Italy, there are times that we spend together as a family and simply sit, watching the sun set over the Colosseo. No words are said, we just enjoy the time as it is.
[ Spending time as a family. It sounds so nice. ] Why would he? [ Martin might be an intelligent person-dragon, but there are concepts beyond his understanding. People wanting to spend time with a melancholic, introverted dragon—for that is Martin's true self, the charming, well-spoken emperor more of a persona he created for the benefit of his realm—is one he has a hard time with. ] I don't understand.
You are a good person, Martin- and more importantly, a good friend. I am not surprised others have taken to you as well.
[It's not him trying to flatter Martin, he's simply telling the truth. What he sees through Martin's words and actions are enough for him to call him that.]
