"Again the incompleteness of your syllogism has me quite perplexed. Proposition A: a man is bleeding. A appears to be true. Proposition B: The College has men trained to halt bleeding, also true. But A+B do not necessarily equal D: The College halts this particular man's bleeding. It would seem you are missing a proposition C: Currently unknown, so that A+B+C=D, this man is treated for blood loss, here at the college."

"Lord Lannister has over ten thousand men in his employ, are we expected to provide medical aid to all of them? No. There for, C does not equal, Being agents of Lord Lannister, which was, in any case, immediately apparently. And we are quite lavishly funded, so no, C would not appear to equal provide the college with some manner of coin," the man says.

Nerrick gurgles blood.

"Do you have the rest of the arm?" The man asks, after his attention was drawn to Nerrick's gurgling.
