Ah.

Pride. I do understand. It's wonderful to be able to expect to be treated as a gentleman and a capable adult. But... it's a luxury. Sometimes if you want to survive it's actually best to accept the role of buffoon, idiot, simpleton. You learn more, fight less, and people underestimate you when they make their plans.

[Soft]

I lived for most of my life playing that role. Weak, pretentious, naive, misinformed. Unable to fight. I'd thought...

I'd thought I had found people who'd recognize the man of reason and ability under the role.

Unfortunately apparently my disguises have been too effective.

[Fierce reversion to chipper.]

Now, why don't we go where you can run around a bit. I can tell you won't let me behind the wheel here until you've gotten to play, some, first.
