[Oh, he's certainly aware he's far from her list of people that she actually likes. Of course this doesn't bother him in the least.]

No reason at all. Being forthcoming has always been one of your merits. Strongly forthcoming, at that.

Semantics are important in politics, you know. Especially when touting around a Chancellorship. And yet, I do think it would be easier, sometimes, to follow a mercenary's way of thinking. A lance straight through the heart of an adversary. Cutting down on words and time.

You bet. A good thing, too. Men in your position sometimes need a lance route.

[If not, the Empire would not have hired mercenaries to get the job done.]
