From:

"I don't think you a child," his tone is level, open. "But I do think you ought to explain your sincere feelings without resorting to your list of books."

Lancelot takes a breath and says, "Hear this: I understand your loyalty to Galahad. I would not ask anything less of you -- he should have as many friends as he desires -- and I don't expect you to change your estimate of me." Lancelot stops himself from saying that he wishes his understanding or truce with Galahad were such that he and Galahad might get to know one another better, but that's outside of this discussion with Magnus.

He goes on to say, "If you are to cast judgments on my other relationships, or on how I interacted with you when I crossed some unknown border during perhaps the worst time of my life -- that bears real talk. If you would defer to your reading list, that's well enough, I suppose. But I know not what you expect of me, and so I cannot satisfy your questions."
