And you are really good. People admire you, Tau, though you don’t know it; people think you’re unambitious, compassionate, thoughtful, kindhearted, all the things they want in a Prince. But I could use you around as a friend, so Kinda doesn’t walk all over me. I should’ve come to you for advice before I started sleeping with her. I should’ve come to you for advice a lot. I need a friend a lot more than I need another Prince.”
