The King's Brand? They're not certain if that's what he means, or the holding of hands, and they're...wary of asking elaboration, if it could be the second. They're fond of being able to, and there's some dread that giving more attention could ruin it.

The King's Brand they're handling despite frustration. The hand-holding, minding comes nowhere near the truth.

In either case, answering through a dip of the head is honesty enough.
