What about our best interests though? Aren't we the ones doing everything for them? [It's no use complaining, and he knows it. The fact that Merida's referring to the holidays by their old name stands out to him a little bit but at least she gets what he's talking about.] But…you're probably right.
[Let's talk about Fergus, shall we? It's obvious just from listening to her that Merida loves her father with all of her heart and that the king is a brave and courageous man. Isn't that how a king should be?
And then there's the fact that the man taught Merida everything she knows. His interests pique a bit at "sword fighting" but he's quiet until she's finished.]
…your dad sounds awesome. Like everything you'd expect a king to be, you know? And it's cool. I mean that he lets you be who you are and he doesn't try to change you. [He's seen enough of that from his few observations of Coach Bolton to Troy, not to mention the few little comments here and there from his own father. But mostly thinking of Coach Bolton here.] Hopefully your mom comes around and follows him, too.
