Dimitri's brief moment of humor subsides. "I'm sorry for your sister. A dear friend of mine wants nothing more than to be a knight -- but she bears her family's Crest, and the house is poor, and so ... thus far she's refused any marriage proposals, but I don't know how long she'll be able."

"I tried, okay? Hard when you've got a sword through your guts."

"I've been told I take after my mother," he says instead, "in speech and demeanor. I don't know if I can believe it, but ... I'd like to think there's truth to it."
