[Closing his eyes, Gale lowers his head slightly.]

I apologize then, and I would ask that you do not think that I am the one at fault. I was asked to be at your service this night, and I do so gladly. Once I have entered into your domain, however, I no longer serve the one who paid for my time, but I am yours exclusively to do with as you wish until midday tomorrow.

Please use me as you see fit.
