[The Keep has only so many opportunities to provide for one such as Peter. He has the gift of being able to fit among the high born with cunning. It is also his way to prefer words to actions. In the right clothes, at the right time he could marry into money and be well off from sleeping in the hay and smelling of horses. Frank helped him to grow in this life, the rest he has no head or heart for anymore. If that was what Peter wanted, how could he deny him?

Peter, I've no want for silver or gold.
[Though he can't look his companion in his face.]
I'm...I don't believe I can give what you are looking for.
