As though this is the first he's hearing about word getting back to Light, and he's surprised it's a problem.
"You met my stalker. He's a lascivious sadomasochist, so I can imagine he'd make it sound a certain way. I'd probably be alarmed to hear something like that, too, so... I'll explain my motive as well as I can."
Set them up; knock them down.
"You were my first friend, and I don't use that word lightly. You understood things immediately that I'd have to explain at great length to others... you challenged me and forced me to think about things from a different angle I wouldn't otherwise have considered. In dealing with hardships in Aefenglom, I've found it often necessary to feel that both of those things were true, but it's much like the world we're from, in the sense that I really... have very few friends."
He cants his head. Finding the right words is a delicate process.
"With no one to talk to, I talked to myself. And because talking to myself seemed inherently pitiful, I borrowed my memory of your face and called it 'illusion practice'. Niles recognized you because he spied on my 'practice', to apparent excess. Anyway... I apologize for my violation."
