I wanted to meet you and I wanted to assure you that you won't be punished here. I visited the capitol just months ago when they were showing off you lot. They chose who I spoke to and made sure it was a brief meeting.

[Lyle's expression indicates that he didn't appreciate the way it was handled at the castle.]

But now I have a chance to meet some of you at your choosing and without the eyes of the royal family or their loyal magicians on us.
