"It's been suggested. Repeatedly." He laughs again, softly, clicking the top of the thermos open and closed. "I was raised by some very practical men. My understanding tends to stop at swinging a sword, moving a pen and caring for a horse. I was never schooled for metaphysical puzzles, though they seem to dog my life of late." Again, he chooses not to mention his assassin's training, but it comes to much the same thing. He understands well the theory of that which is useful, but he's never managed to wholly wrap his mind around the talk of fate and time that seem to be all he's surrounded with on the road.

He leans back on the bench, holding the thermos in both hands on his lap. "I hope you're right. I hope I haven't abandoned my king when he needs me most. I hope my friends are not waiting for me on the road with enemies approaching. But hope never seems to get me very far."
