Yekaterina. I am not the most eloquent of men nor the most emotionally intelligent, though I do not think I can stay silent upon such an unfortunate realization. I do not believe you are selfish. You are a wonderful surgeon and wonderful friend, if you would consider me one. As i said, i am not eloquent. Your personal matters are not mine to pry into an attempt to fix. Despite this, I would like to alert you of the fact that I quite appreciate you living. Your ‘selfishness’ as you call it has brought many people an immeasurable amount of joy. I am glad you are alive, even if my opinion does not hold much late. Please do not die. I again apologize for my lack of eloquence once more.

I don't like what you're implying. I go where I want, I am a prince.

Royalty does not equate to intelligence nor charisma, both core principles of which you lack. Go where you please, but do not expect to be groveled on in lands you do not belong.

I have been trained in the art of war. Don't try to threaten me.

I said not a threat. Perhaps it is something you get off to, being threatened. Why else would you mention it so often? And trained in the art of war? War is less of an art and more of a flail of desperation disguised as poise. Is that how you wish to be seen?

It is! A duckling. Adorable. Perhaps I’ve been infecting your dash.

Perhaps. Either way. I'm glad to have seen it. It is very cute. I have dissected ducks a couple of times, they have fascinating anatomy.

Please do not dissect my ducks.

Oh, I wouldn't. Don't worry, they were already dead. They were going to be supper.

You are a dear friend, however I fear you are no longer allowed alone with them for my peace of mind.

That's what the cooks had prepared. I...I apologize if I disconcerted you, that was not my intention.

Apology accepted, I am merely a paranoid bastard.

That is just. I know I can be frightening.

You are the opposite of frightening. I am the problem, though this is not new. I tend to cause a fuss over naught.

While I do not enjoy the presence of people I shall put that aside. I am excited to meet this Daria.

I'm glad. You are a good friend, and it would be hard if my two good friends did not get along. I am sure you will like her.

I am sure.
