[He spent so long on this, revising it over and over to be less and less angry and petty and sarcastic. But he does want to do it for Taryon. He just has to try to hold back his impulsiveness and self-edit until he finally sends:]
I know you won't want to hear from me, and I hardly want to reach out like this, but Taryon is important to me, and friendship is important to him.
He did not say anything untoward or even exaggerated, as far as I can recollect. Before I had told him how I felt about him, he was talking about someone he had had a fun night with, like you do with friends. I am sure a singing shining star such as yourself has done your fair share of bragging in song alone, so you must understand. He did say the two of you didn't have sex and that was it, however my mind leapt to still lurid activities. Suffice to say, I'm not keen to divulge my personal history to you, so let us just say my life for nearly 2 centuries required my thoughts to be so lasciviously bent.
All this to say, I apologise. You don't have to like me, or even tolerate me. Just don't hold my mistakes against him.
