With no warning, no privacy, no chance to say you ridiculous Assistant Pig-Keeper. I have shared hearth and home and joy and laughter with you. I have forsaken kith and kin and power and legacy for you. I have wept and bled and fought next to you, walked through shadow and death by your side. I have slept at your back and I know the taste of your mouth and the shape of your breath and if you think I'd have done ANY of it without intending to stay with you always...

Probably if you will wed an Assistant Pig-Keeper wasn't what he'd meant to say either.
