But, I merely come to return your prodigal." (He glances at Verloren) "If you do not wish my company, I can understand that. I shall be gone immediately, but" (switches gaze to Blandamour) "you, my lord, should know at least, that the Princess, here, is sought by the witch Nataskia of the Snows. She greatly desires her for her harem, so do not be fooled by messengers unknown to you who seek to hale her off on one pretxt or another." (Turns to Verloren) "Fare you well, your Highness. I go seeking friendlier climes."
