Had better, you were thinking about her again weren't you?
I ... I ... yes
There's still time you know, the wedding's in a month, it only takes two weeks to get there. Then you'd have another two weeks to convince her.
You know I would if I could, it's just, she's Queen whilst I'm an outlaw...

Murtagh turned and glared at Thorn,
Even if you take that away I'm immortal and she isn't. It wouldn't work. So drop it.
He continued to silently brood.
