"The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do."

That was one lesson he didn't take immediately to heart. Indeed, it took nearly a week of balancing mind games, with fighting for his life – and Elizabeth's – for him to even admit that there may be some legitimacy to the statement.

Now he embraced it as he turned from Elizabeth pushing his way through the crowd and drawing his sword.

He would do what he could and others would do as they would.

Because this lesson was a lesson well learnt.
