0. There's something to be said for working here with [cdb]everyone else. Don't you think, Hubert?
1. Quite so. I will not refuse any situation I can twist to [cdb]my advantage.
2. I don't know how you stay focused. Every time I [cdb]think about the war and how much is left to be done, I grow so impatient for the end.
3. Do not be discouraged. Instead, focus on how much [cdb]you have accomplished in so short a time.
4. Well, that was a nice change from the usual pressure [cdb]we face.
5. Yes, it is good to feel like I've actually accomplished [cdb]something from time to time.
6. We must look as if we are conspiring, huddled [cdb]together like this.
7. Likely due to your reputation—which I'd prefer not [cdb]to rub off on me.
8. After the war ends, I hope we continue to share a [cdb]table like this.
9. That will be possible in the world you envision, [cdb]so long as we prevail and survive to see it.
10. Come at me, Hubert! Give me your all!
11. Of course, Your Majesty—especially as you will likely [cdb]tear me apart if I refuse.
