I don't believe I will forgive you for some time. [Worse than a beating, Minimus was humiliated, and pride takes longer to heal than a physical wound..] You are fortunate that no one we know witnessed that scene, so I believe that we should work on forgetting this ever happened.

That emotions ran deeper than the bloodlines they came from, and the hereditary traits of shared guilt.] Forgiveness is earned, and I respect your decision.
Perhaps we will meet again, and I will try to stop myself from kneeling before you.
