...I suppose there is little point in denying, but after a fashion, yes.
[He straightens himself in his chair, putting his gloved hands on the table top as he begins to explain.]
If you need some measure of understanding my point of view, imagine, if you will, a child were to attempt to tell you the limits of something you are profoundly talented in. That you have nigh-limitless knowledge and skill with, to the point you have created the equivalent of gold from lead—and without the use of magic. Nay, naught but mere raw, earth-bequeathed materials. And the friends of this child continue to encourage you to not attempt to push these limits you have broken before, all because they are full certain that this child is the law on such matters, regardless of the fact that his capacity and experience in his short, fleeting life cannot hold a flame to the burning sun that is your existence.
In short: such warnings are little more than insults to an ancient being such as I, and I have quite humbly suffered them long enough.
