What I think does not matter. If it will give you satisfaction, I will take whatever you wish of me - my life included. For we are both trapped here, Mariner, whether you will or nil. We will have to find a way to coexist.

But I will go, and not return to this cove.

Hate me all you like, Mariner, it is my due, and just. But remember this - I kept you alive for your sons, when I could just as easily have taught them to hate you instead.
