He's taken by surprise with the way the other seems to calm down on the teasing. The word 'safe' settled heavy in a way that Sylvain obviously understood. It isn't a word he thinks he would use very often. The Fortress is safe to him, but that's because he had rebuilt it to what it is now. His room was nestled away from the public and the only person who would easily have access to it would be Sigewinne. Sigewinne was safe, but that was because Sigewinne had been that gentle hand throughout his time in prison.
Safe was not a word that comes easy from a man who had safety torn from his hands by the adults he was supposed to see as loving parents. Safe was not the prison that had been owned by a corrupt hand that made everyday its own hell. Safe was not a word that he thinks of very often.
