[Richard's usage of words here are all part of the performance that he had learned to put up in situations like these where he needed to talk business with another leader of sorts. How to use his words to give people a sense of trust, spark the flame of inspiration in their souls and what not.

In private, Richard preferred to spare his words. Keeping the thoughts to himself. To much dismay of those who he'd include in his inner circle.

He hums thoughtfully at Miller's words, a small smile appearing to his lips.]

It is exactly as you say, my good sir. Holding onto limitations of our nations will do us only harm in this unknown land. Nay, I would rather cross such boundaries, stand by your side and call you my friend if you were to allow it.

[How's that for smooth talking? But at least he means it to some extend. Miller appears to be formative soldier, it would do good for him to be allies with someone of his standing.]

I thank you for your trust. However, I am merely a newcomer compared to you. Do you have suggestions to which individuals I should reach out for in hopes or cooperation?
