[ does tim forget he speaks to a prince? a prince who holds the crown as regent, at that? he's never had to think of anyone else except himself and his immediate family, dragons included. ]
What does kissing you have to do with learning this place? You are not from here, either.
[ but he sombers, too. ]
I'm going to die when I go back. Mother knows half of it. What I haven't told her is that I arrived her on the eve of a campaign against— well, the details won't matter to you. What does matter is that back home, when the morrow comes, I will fly for the last time to certain death.
And my sister speaks true with her visions. She tells me there I cannot change it, that I will from the sky and drown.
I know all of this and I will still do it when I get back because my brother must become king, else our very lives become forfeit. My mother will die. My grandsire and my sister and my niece, my brothers and I above all, even the men who stand with us — my dead sister should she come alive again will make sure our side is decimated because that is the only way she can cement her rule.
You do not care to hear this. I do not care to hear about your god or your faith.
So tell me — how do I disrespect you by kissing you? You refuse to answer my question.
