"Right. Since---" He snaps his mouth shut, and nods tightly. "Right."

There's another momentary pause as he seems to mull over that, lost in his own thoughts and trying to figure out what to say next. But then, he very abruptly asks, as if it's a matter of great importance:

"How do you decide? I mean, I know you said it's been less than a year, but I imagine that's... come with plenty of experiences, for a King. But having the fate of all those people in your hands -- you have this legacy of justice, this idea that's apparently ... stuck around, I mean the Knights make that pretty obvious, at least. But even with what we do here, it seems like almost every mission comes with so much gray area over who we help, when we help, who we might hurt by trying to help. Sure, Wynn makes it all seem easy, but he's been doing this since who knows when. But he's made it clear, time and time again to m-- to us, that it shouldn't be easy. That it's a process and a journey and mistakes are all a part of it. But," his lips purse together in frustration, "how do you live with mistakes when they can impact that many people?"

Mark appears to get lost inside his own rambling as he leans forward, hands gesturing emphatically as he gets caught up in the subject. He fixes Arthur with another searching gaze, finally. "I suppose that's not a fair question, at all," he admits ruefully. "It probably all comes naturally to you."
