I don't want anything in return from you, Rincewind.
[ Except to be in his city. Where he can watch you and make sure you're not causing trouble. ]
I was envious of you, you know. I was envious of you and your relationship with Doctor Chilton and later on Jorah Mormont. I am a man who is capable of advancing his own career quite quickly, but I've never been a man who is capable of friendship. Not for lack of wanting it, mind. I saw how effortlessly these men I admired accepted you, and it made me resent you because I knew neither of them would ever accept me for anything more than what I could do for them -- politically or monetarily.
So the thought that entered my mind was 'how can I control this threat to the things I want?' And that is what led us down this path. It doesn't excuse it. I do apologize for it, but this is my attempt to at least offer a truce.
