I am not surprised you are a believer in diplomacy. Especially considering your performance in Mexico... and your age, of course.

[Not surprised, but secretly not approving either. Persuasion is just another form of power, to be wielded in the same way as violence. The Count will use words or droid armies with an equal lack of compunction if it gets him what he wants.]

In your situation, I would recommend against trying to hit your problems regardless. Brave you may be, but bravery cannot compensate for sheer physical facts. Your words are your greater talent.

[Polite way of saying Max is too tiny to fight.]
