[Silco's refusal to let the issue go nearly makes Richard want to step away and withdraw away from the moment. Richard wasn't really all that used to be pressured like this. Most people in his life didn't posses a rank high enough to question and push him like this. And those who's position exceeded his own? Well, most of them were like sheep - easy to lead where he wanted them to. Buckingham standing as only exception to the rule.
But the push hadn't become a shove just yet, and after a brief moment of silence Richard finally answers:] No. [A quick hesitation as he tries to connect he feelings into words.] But there is no circle. Only you.
[Richard is fully aware that this is not his strongest suit. It, again, makes him miss the presence of his other half. Buckingham had always just somehow been able to understand him, seen through his mask and just knew. He misses the confidence that his kingmaker would give him, his hand and touch guiding him through these struggles, and somehow bring the best out of him.]

And what is the nature of your own traps?
