[X] Make the promise -[X] "Of course I would make such a vow!" This isn't the time for a cool, collected Roland. Whatever Ansefu may think, he's basically an unblooded boy making accusations against a skilled warrior who could cut him down like a child. Among the Anwari, that's stepping over the line of good sense. Put some heat into the reply. --[X] "Do not mistake my counsel for a lack of resolve or hidden ambition, for I do not shy away from the shedding of blood when necessary, as many of you have seen with your own eyes, and my home cannot be found among your islands. Heed my counsel or do not, that is your right as king of your people, but think long and hard about what kind of man you would place on the throne of Korman, and consider what he might do with that power. Not just tomorrow, or next season, or next year, but in five years, or ten. Do you want another bloody war before your own children are fully grown? Do you want your heirs to fight a war you sowed the seeds for with the decisions you made before they were even born?"
[X] Do not make the promise -[X] "I am a person who does not make a habit of breaking their word once given; which means I am also a person who does not swear if frivolously. I do not currently have any ambitions to claim the throne of Korman or any throne. I am but the captain of a band of warriors seeking the destruction of the Neverborn that plague us all. My word has been good thus far and I have given the Great King nothing but the most leal advice I can manage for the coming conflict; I would hope that to be sufficient here.
