“Mine dainty wrists are so weak that mineself can hardly snap the neck of a rooster for the supper pot, and I shall require thy strong manly hands for assistance on a regular basis! This shall make thee feel adequate and useful!”
“I love watching the jousts!”
“If thy wrists are also dainty we can have one of my servants kill the rooster. They come with the dowry.”
“I judge a knight not by the shininess of his armour, but by the quality of his soul!”
“Though shininess be a goode indicator of wealth and I will by no means turn thee away for having shiny armour.”

“One might wonder how I can be chaste, and fertile, and also enjoy drinking with thy dwarf buddies and doing kinky tower-prison stuff at the same tyme. And to that I say, marry me and find out!”
