“He Glanced Over At Luthar, Sneering Down Into His Bowl As Though It Was Full Of Piss. No Respect. He Glanced Over At Ferro, Staring Yellow Knives At Him Through Narrowed Eyes. No Trust. He Shook His Head Sadly. Without Trust And Respect The Group Would Fall Apart In A Fight Like Walls Without Mortar.
Still, Logen Had Won Over Tougher Audiences, In His Time. Threetrees, Tul Duru, Black Dow, Harding Grim, He'd Fought Each One In Single Combat, And Beaten Them All. Spared Each Man's Life, And Left Him Bound To Follow. Each One Had Tried Their Best To Kill Him, And With Good Reasons Too, But In The End Logen Had Earned Their Trust, And Their Respect, And Their Friendship Even. Small Gestures And A Lot Of Time, That Was How He'd Done It. 'Patience Is The Chief Of Virtues,' His Father Used To Say, And 'you Won't Cross The Mountains In A Day.' Time Might Be Against Them, But There Was Nothing To Be Gained By Rushing. You Have To Be Realistic About These Things.”
