I'd hate to be such a downer, though...most of my troubles aren't easily solved with kind words, and it can feel pretty bad, to not be able to help, can't it?

[Oh Kaveh, what a kind soul. Lyney had once suspected Kaveh's kindness to be an act, but the more he interacts with the man the more he realizes how genuine it is.]
While that may be true that not all problems can be solved with kind words, it's easier to share the burden with another, isn't it? It would honestly be worse if I knew you were struggling but chose not to do anything to help. Even if I can't offer the solution to all your problems, I can at least offer you an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on if you need.
[Besides, it's easier to help others than it is to help yourself. Lyney would know, not that he would ever admit it out loud to just anyone.]

[Oh, Kaveh knows, Lyney, that is why he is dodging this goodwill like it's a bullet.]

[He's noticing the way Kaveh isn't fully accepting his offer, which is why he says what he does.]
