Her fault? No. Done to help her? Yes, and he hates that she's going to carry that guilt. It breaks his heart knowing she's going to do it anyway, no matter what he can or can't say on the subject. In his mind it had been worth it. To protect her it was worth it. It had to be.
She's smart, he would absolutely be gone if she let him go.
He doesn't answer the question about the Vatican, she already knew and it wasn't that important anyway. The how was past, irrelevant. There wasn't any going back from where he was now. Lost, but not so lost as to have forgotten himself. Just his face...
Which was definitely the explanation as to why he wasn't speaking. The twisted features, the permanent unsettling "grin" of teeth pulled back in an eternal snarl. He tried to pull away, out of reach so she couldn't know just how bad it was but he was rather stuck with her holding onto him. Still unwilling to risk hurting her even like this.

At least she's not run away yet.
