Did you miss me? I've only been a part of you for three years. To deny me is only detrimental to you. You know I get what I want.

Are you snickering at me? Listen, I know I don't have the greatest track record of victory, but there are extenuating circumstances involved in that win/loss tally - as you well know. Cutting ties with those I've come to know and care for at home will be difficult, but it's a chance for that fresh start I was never going to get in New York. Don't think I can't see that you're already setting me up for failure, though. I can read that journal title. I can change, dear. Don't you believe in me?

Baedal is just waiting for me. Stop dallying, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and send me. Let me off my leash, and know relief. I'll be ever so good. I'm a doctor. Think of how I can help those people! Would I do anything to betray your trust?

Don't answer that.

Mm. Observant. There are some things you just can't prepare for, I suppose. I have to say I approve of your weapon of choice, at least. Like a good blade, me. May be useless against some abilities, but that's where lurking in the shadows comes in handy.

Though... you don't much strike me as the shadowy type. Let alone the sort who lurks.

I have not encountered enemies that can't be defeated with folded steel, but I'm a quick learner. I'm also a knight of the Kingsguard; we favour more gallant approaches to solving our problems. [ Oh so wry. ]

But then, lurking has its place, for different problems and pleasures.

You're a very practical man, you know that? I'm a bit surprised, actually. Hope you aren't offended by that. Just not... generally what I've come to expect.

I do believe I like the way you think.

Where I come from, someone has to be practical. What did you expect?

[whattigerscanchange]

Stubbornness, mostly. An inflexibility or an unwillingness to adapt. Though you wouldn't be nearly so successful at what you do if your nature didn't allow for change, so I really shouldn't have been surprised.

[ Thinks about this for a moment, before offering shrug. ]

This place will force change, one way or another
