You're wonderful. So full of life and excitement. The priests and servants of the palace, they wear colors, but there's no color inside of them. They just go about their duties, eyes down, solemn. You've got color on the inside, so much of it that it bursts out and colors everything around you.

He smiled despite the grief he felt at the deaths of his men he smiled because that was what he did. That was how he proved to the Lord Ruler-and to himself-that he wasn't beaten.
