You make it sound so devious. I could tell people to fight unto death, and in that I would be forcing their choice. Instead, I only offer removing the sting of defeat so that they may choose whether to live or not, the reduction of self-doubt and fear so that they may choose to fight or not with a clearer mind. Assistance, my lord, they need given our circumstances.

Do you think I'd be so foolish as to try and bewitch shardbearers with ill thought out and demanding commands?
