[ It's a surprising response to receive, but not an unwelcome one. Howl has spent time pondering all of those things, and if that were all they needed to discuss, Matt would find the wizard to be wholly forgiving and understanding. He isn't sure how that power of his works, exactly, but it seems to be self-betraying. That's a tough downside to have to cope with, as far as he's concerned, and above it all, Howl owes Matt his life for using it. There's nothing for him to be embarrassed about.
Of course, though, a lot has happened since then, and now there's much more they're both coping with. As usual, Howl is in no rush to talk about it. ]
