[Frustration's rising on both sides as exasperation starts to crack Hubert's statuesque veneer.]
Compromise is not my privilege to offer—it never was. You have your cooperation already; I will not stand in the way of that lest you hand me a good reason why.
[Hubert glances over his shoulder.] Rational or not your actions, purposeful or not your efforts, I bear the burden of remembering exactly what is at stake on the other side of those mirrors—for each involved. For every danger, every possibility of it.
Or do you mean to tell me, when you return to the other side of the glass, you mean to lay down your spear? To abstain from the war, and accept amnesty with your treasured cooperation?
[Hubert didn't expect so, with that bit about the crown.]
