Excellent, I can tell that this will go well. It's a deconstructionist point, I suppose, but one that sticks rather well. Of course, it's all appropriate, and no one is ever going to ask him anything, so you've got no helpful assists from the other characters, and it's wonderfully true to what we do see of John. I am fumbling with the language here, mainly, YES.

Your icon is predictably, perfect. It's probably all John of Gaunt's fault. Most things are, really.
