"It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Mortimer continues the quote, blandly. "It is not wise to take to heart the ramblings of a false king so cowardly his power-hungry wife had to commit regicide in his stead."
But the tear seems to deeply move Mortimer, whose stance changes to sitting upright when he sees it. With a sympathetic frown, he slowly reaches over and places his cold, bony hand upon Malik's flesh arm, trying to be reassuring with a gentle rubbing motion. It helps to combat the cold of his hands, anyway. "I will do my best, for your sake, Malik. Know that I am here for you, always."
