I just want to prove myself, I guess,"</strong>he laughs, leaving out his true goal - to be knighted, since maybe then his father would recognize him, whoever and wherever he was. As the court begins to leave, he smiles to Garmund.<strong>"There was something I'd like to speak to you and Alester about privately before we leave, if that is alright. Shall we go to your quarters?"</strong>
