[ comes back for dare hours ]

Sylvain, you are an old friend of mine, and so I feel rather uniquely qualified to say that you are reliable and stalwart. Though your family is renowned for its shrewdness, I think your sharp mind is easily matched with the strength of your character. It is a shame to me that you do not allow people to see your potential, as it has never failed me, and I have faith that it never will.
