Garrot takes his time to compose himself after that outburst. He feels terrible, really, that he's treating the Princess like this while he's trapped on his shoulders. It's very awkward. Frankly, he's glad nobody's stumbled upon them like this, having an argument, stacked like idiots. He takes another deep breath in, and after hearing Luka's frustration, he just sighs.

"Of course they're open with me." Deep breath in, deep breath out. "I'm their doctor." He says it like it's nothing, because well, it isn't a big deal to him. He's doctored many people over the years. "I was just as worried as you were about the infamous assassin Knight." He breathes a short sigh, but then his tone gets ice-cold.

"So I didn't give them a choice in the matter." But he chuckles cynically at how sinister he must sound, doubting it'll do much to break the tension. Blackmail, bribes, Garrot will do whatever it takes to keep the world alive another year.
