"I don't think you would hurt me, Shadow," he said seriously. In fact, he lowered himself to the ground and dropped his shield. He still had his armor - and it was lucky he did given how easily he could have lost it on that other world! - but no one from Naut seemed to take it seriously, and disrobing would just be awkward. Hopefully dropping the shield was enough to make his point. If Shadow wanted him to remover his armor too, to prove his trust he would.
"No more than the equivalent of than a cuff or bonk upside the head. You and Link both seem to have less faith in your self control than I do. I trust you, Shadow. You're proven over and over again that I can trust you. I am, as far as I know, in my own mind. I am not a danger to you or Link or Zelda or the train. No matter how upset or hurt you are, I trust you. I have no fear of you hurting me."
