There are two sayings:

Among the Great Houses, that negotiation can only take place between near-equals.

And among the Fremen, that when words are spoken to the wind, you waste your mouth's moisture.

There is more - from the Bene Gesserit, but when I am of a mind to remember them, it isn't the mind they command, or the mind they would wish.

And you have enough. Having learned two things of two worlds, you will know when to speak to me. It is not now.

Sometimes, water can be shared, willingly. Moisture can be given.

Not what you want to do?

[themindkiller]

Moisture goes to the dead or the dying. Stilgar has said. Jamis has died - and in dying, said also.

I remember you. Or, in years to come, I will remember you.

... so young, Usul.

Have you shared of the Water of Life, yet?

[themindkiller]

...then that is the path on which the others converge.

[wild_genes]

I can give you answers. Or I can give you solidity.

But the words you and I speak do not always mean the same things, Usul. I do not think I can give you both.

[ Not when you are like this. Adrift. But there are things that do not need to be said at all. ]

You are pushing yourself past the point of comfort.

I am not - of all things - ungrateful. You should know now. I can't see if I say it later.

[wild_genes]

How can he who gives so much away be ungrateful?

I do not need more comfort than I find with you. What are you seeking right now?

[themindkiller]

Alternatives. Kanly, the leadership of Muad'dib, they are all... options.

But that isn't your worry.
