[She drew a deep breath and, while she didn't brace herself, she prepared herself for his probable dissent.]
I had not considered asking, nor waiting for such things to be granted. One cannot return what has been stolen and call it kindness. [It was a dangerous sentiment, but one that applied here far better than it did in Arda.]
