Do you know why I am here instead of the usual guard, Grayson?
[A pointed question. He isn't going to let his guard down, no matter how weak he appeared. There is only one reason he's made the choice to replace the night watch, after all. If he didn't try one more time to convince him, then Sir Lucan would ever be able to let it go.
But now, he's reconsidering every long drawn out second he spends near his former brother in arms. If Grayson could not be swayed, he would die and that would be that. Better to spend his energy on keeping the rest of the Order out of this nonsense.]
