"You are not stupid, but sometimes I think you worry too much about what some folks are going to say about you. We all do, of course, we want to be thought of well particularly by family and friends. But then, real family and friends aren't going to think of you as less of a Rivervaler. If Jessica got tired of Fenix tomrorow and turned over the keys to some other Count or Countess, and said she was coming to Rivervale, we'd throw a feast and welcome her. As long as a part of you loves Rivervale, no matter where else you are, I think you'll be a Rivervaler where it counts. Take me? Take Frank. We've been gone for months at a time while others hold the fort, each for different reasons. Someone told me I was less a Rivervaler for that we might throw down. Besides, you just told me how you were getting in an OATH that Rivervale would come first for you. An Oath, unseelie or seelie that means the world to trolls. You are your own evidence"
