Because I think entering this...

I was very burnt out on the lone wolf and cub thing.

And it was watching the show where I realized why, where I think a lot of times when, when writers and creators reach for lone wolf and cub, they just stop at the obvious.

Okay.

One of these people is older and one of them is younger.

And it's just like, it's a,

It's a conversation about generations and the difference.

And the chemistry between Dunk and Egg is so much deeper.

You can tell that, to your point, Dunk has actually been out in the world.

He's slept under the trees.

A lot of the things that make a night in these stories

he's done or he's been taught about.

And then you have this little kid where you're like, there's something off about him because he talks really, really well and he dreams of being a knight, but he's been raised in a different way.

So there's a little bit like...

okay, what is this lone wolf teaching this cub and what is the cub teaching this lone wolf?

Because it's not just older and younger.

It's like Dunk has kind of the thought process of a dumb farm boy where he takes things in a very matter-of-fact, genuine way.

And like Egg is a little bit like...

but I've been raised differently.

I know how to use my words.
