"We have been at war with the Enemy for more than five hundred years. We are losing. It is my expectation that within the next century he'll have killed everyone on the continent. I want him defeated but no longer command forces that have any hope of doing that. I have family; most of them are dead. I am sworn to the task of recovering something that was taken from us long ago, and I cannot do anything that makes me unable to do that task, or unable to do it well, and I cannot avoid it for too long. My concern with you is primarily for keeping you out of Enemy hands, but the Oath won't let me not use resources I have.
Are you trying to figure out a way to trick me into some kind of mistake that makes me vulnerable to you? If so, what have you thought of? If having a warning before I ask your thoughts reduces your distress, you can always delay answering questions like that for a few minutes."
