My concern was towards my mission. The knights under my protection. I will not deny that you were on my thoughts on long campaigns, but you were not on extermination campaigns with me, Jasper.

[He should understand. He was made a general as well, after all.

A slow, deep breath helps Hendrik push down that frustration once more.]

I am guilty of being unaware of your plight. Of your anger and your hurt. Of being a bad friend. We have been over all of that by now.

[He casts a restless glance at the floor before continuing on.]

I have offered my understanding. I have offered my death. Yet you are here, unsatisfied.

[His voice finally rises as he grits his teeth.]

What is it that you want then, Jasper? Misery? Because I can assure you we are both unhappy here.
