I think we all did a lot in our time during the war, and while I appreciate the vote of confidence, an ally of mine there is right: I won't be able to protect anyone with words there. I'm not a princess or queen or vice minister. I'm just a 17 year old girl stuck in a hole. So... I have to be much more than a brain and I'm going to have to be it very soon, or he'll have had every right to call me cowardly.
