I've no time for your games, my lady, as...fascinated as you are by the idea of putting me in one of them. I have a war to fight, and a wedding to attend. How am I to command an army if I am stuck here attending to your every fancy?

[sigh.] And despite what you might think, I don't wish to somehow make time to participate in your games, either. I have duties to fulfill, and they are more important than playing along with whatever jape you have planned for me. [See: army, wedding, and the wife.]

I've heard of that tendency. [Not to mention, he's currently experiencing it.] Would that she'd at least listen.

[ There's a scoff. ] They've no talent that.

We are nothing but puppets, expected to follow their whims and not even magic can change that.

[ A tone that hints at experience. ]

[He's a bit taken aback by the mention of magic--he's heard some queer tales around the camp, and of course there's Old Nan's stories, but...well.]

I suppose they're extraordinarily stubborn, then, if not even magic can bend their whims.
