Hmph! Titles here are worthless. Futile, trivial words scrawled on parchment. Merely thinking of them insults me.

[Granted, he needs little provocation to feel insulted.]

Why do you regard their distinction as an accolade worthy of merit?

It has been most instructive as to the nature of your kind that you salivate like mongrels and chase subordination and not independence.

[There is an embittered sigh.]

Do you not entertain any notion of loyalty to your native land? Your eager willingness to chase glory is abominable. Hm. It is useless. You should close your mouths and remember where you come from.

I'm crediting you with the sustained time and energy it must take to be very, very grumpy. Admirable, really.

But seriously, what are you trying to accomplish here? Or did you just want to get this off your chest?

[leitstern]

I would not have a clue.

All I know is I hate watching people standing around wasting their time in an ignorant manner.

[Is this even the right way to connect with people?]

[leicesters]

Oookay, so suggest something more constructive for people to do? I know some take on quests as a means of making ends meet rather than because they care about glory or recognition. In fact, I suspect that's true of most people.

But if you think there's something better everyone could focus their energy on, I'm sure they'd listen.

[leitstern]

Perhaps they might but I hardly care to talk.

Why lead men and women with whom I lack connection?

[leicesters]

You seemed pretty happy to scold people about titles and stuff, I thought you'd be happy to give them a nudge in the right direction.

[leitstern]

Heavens no! I have done enough rising the issue to their attention. Now let them carry themselves instead of relying upon my hard work.

[leicesters]

Your skills of persuasion could use some improvement, but suit yourself.

[leitstern]

Of course.

Now answer one question, if you would. Why the devil did you think I would love to "give them a nudge", as it were?

[leicesters]

Because you hate people wasting time. It's not that much of a reach, is it?

[Not everyone is as pushy as you, Claude.]

[leitstern]

Not to your kind, perhaps. It is more of a struggle for me to care for people who cannot help themselves.

[The one thing he loathes more than people squandering time is people themselves. #monsterthings]

[leicesters]

My "kind"? What's your kind, in that case?

[leitstern]

Nothing like the kind you imagine. I mean not to be vague, of course, but one simply does not share a personal confidance with strangers. I am sure you understand?
