[Dammit, Doctor, curtailing his gripe with logic! And it was going to be a good gripe, too. He sighs.]
I can't believe I'm doing this for Arthas of all people. [Nevermind that he's doing it in the hopes of getting lucky enough to pick a few juicy secrets out of Arthas' brain.]
You're an incurable optimist if you think you can make him that person again.
[And an evil evil little man for considering traumatizing Arthas Narvin Arthas and Narvin both with such a thing.]
It's an incarnation of him that's long gone, I think. [The Time Lord metaphor is particularly apt in this case, Narvin thinks. Arthas the Death Knight might as well be a different regeneration from Arthas the Paladin.]
And what if I could bring him back to life? What if I knew a way to repair him at least for a while?
Frostmourne made him wrong. He simply doesn't know how to make himself right again. There's something in my mind that might take on a life of it's own one day, as well. I'd rather prefer that someone were there to take my hand and pull me free, than believe I'm not worth the effort.
I can hardly believe that your mind has... [But then he remembers the Valeyard. And also a faint memories of something a bit frightening in the Doctor's mind before he was booted violently out of it.]
Well, I suppose we all have a few shadows we'd rather weren't there. [Sometimes still he wonders how much Pandora's genetic legacy influences his actions.]
All right. I'll accept that it might not be an entirely hopeless cause. And don't worry, Doctor, I'm sure that if your shadows should start to bite...your brother will save you. If he's not busy examining Martian sculpture, that is. [He's certainly not going to admit out loud that he'd help. But the sentiment's there.]
I wouldn't dream of altering a synapse in Arthas' perfect head.
What do you have in mind for a training technique to start with?

I know precisely who I'm doing it for. There once was a good man there. You saw it, if only for a day.
