Dear Valorstep:

Dear Valorstep,

I have something I must tell you. You mustn't be sad, you mustn't.
My bond with you is... not quite mate-love. I know that now. I'm sorry, but... I don't feel for you in quite that way. I thought I did, but...
But listen, don't be sad! Of course we'll still be very close friends, I know we'll have many more great times in the Forest, I'm just not the right one for you. You mustn't be sad, it's just not me. And of course I still love you, just not in that way.
You're a mighty handsome stag, don't worry.

Perk up, Valor, we'll be great friends forever, you know it. *nuzzle* I'll never forget that time when we fought the darkness side-by-side in the twilight.
