[ Gil smiles. Smiling is second nature to him - he has found out very early that smiling is the path of least resistance towards his goals. It's because mankind will keep on wanting that it finds itself drawn towards one who can make promises. ]

I'm afraid I'm incorrigible that way. Greedy and selfish.

[ Gilbert Durandal is a man who can both make and believe in those promises. That may just be his worst quality. ]

As long as my consciousness still exists, I'll keep striving. I've never learned how to settle for less.
