Perhaps all of you have decided that mediocrity suits him best, but I've never found appeal in the idea of being just average. Theon had every potential to be something more than he is, and it's been stolen from him. There's no reason he can't get it back, hmm?

[ Isn't Maximus so kind? Maybe it's easy to see how he was able to get the ear of the people back home, and why people find him sympathetic to their causes. But it's also evident, should one look closely, that Maximus has many wheels turning. What Theon's play in it all is, he's not certain, but he wants to be the one to use it when the time comes. ]
