Still he could help but poke holes in the Warden’s logic. A cruel lopsided smirk spread across his face. “And… you think their questions would be any less, than now?

It is in my professional opinion, that you need a butler, or a maid, whichever your preference just until your condition stabilises. Though… I hope you understand that may not ever happen.”
