I will not hide my identity nor pretend these words are not attached to me. There were men who thought I committed many wrongs before I came here. One man held me accountable and spared me nothing besides a lingering death, which leads me to my question: in your estimation, are there any crimes that are unforgivable?

What a common man or woman cannot - should not - do, a king or a queen can do for the good of their people, correct? Great sacrifices are expected in battle - in war - however do you think that a ruler's life should be forfeit for them? What good can they do if they are slain prematurely?

I can admit when I am wrong, but on this...

I don't understand.

You don't really know me. Are you fine with that? For all you know I could be a monster.

[He isn't put off by the implication, but also doesn't make it a habit to have sex with a relative stranger. Coming to some kind of arrangement, if that is what she wished, would give him options should he and Rey find themselves at odds again. That was fairly likely to happen, if he's being honest with himself.]

I'm accustomed to monsters. (They will be a better fit if he is a monster, she presumes.) If you try to hurt me, my dragon will see you burned alive.

(There is that.)

I'm not sure what I should be pleased to hear more - that you're accustomed to monsters or that you've already planned to give me a quick death.

[decisiveconquest]

I've always been a monster and burning isn't as quick as you might think.

If we've both always been monsters, then that makes us a decent match, wouldn't you say? I'm not worried about dying - quick or slow. I have no intention of doing so, if we plan to have a long standing arrangement.
