[Hah. Well, maybe he wouldn't need to change his face, so much. More, he would rather see more expression on it. So, to, that, he abruptly shakes his head. No, wrong.]
Your appearance needs no changing. As I said, your visage is beautiful as it is, adorned in silk and gold. I simply think it would be better suited were you to smile that warmly more often. A quiet expression does not suit you.
[Ozymandias' way of saying 'you're prettier when you smile', or somesuch nonsense.]
And so you say. I can take merit from your words, certainly, but time will tell if I can grow to trust them. Perhaps you are not underhanded as it stands--but men turn wild in the face of what they want.
[Such as returning home.]
For now, I will have you stay here, and learn from my concubines. Your job as my consort isn't simply to keep my bed warm at night, after all. Though, as a warrior, I do suspect you may find jobs like weaving, carving, writing, cooking, and painting to be boring.
