( There is the deepest of sighs at the 'dear heart', but at least mighty king is an accurate title. This is not an arrangement he necessarily anticipated upon making their bargain, but he is aware of its value if she has information that is of use. He does not trust her regardless. )
I do not suffer from a sinful amount of pride so there is no need to appeal to it nor am I anyone's dear heart. You have more experience within this particular world, and I am no fool who would refuse to listen to what you have to say. If you wish to gain favor with me, valuable council is far more effective.

What is your advice, Hatisse?
