[He will settle, relaxing once he has gotten away with the nuzzling. He will not overdo it with affection, he is already probably pushing it by riding his shoulders.]
In truth, I find it not particularly useful to try to plan for something that we cannot predict. It only introduces inflexibility when the Warden has proven to be flexible in creating these tasks, designing them to be maximally troublesome.

[But maybe he was too harsh? He feels a little bad.]
The circumstances for each task will change, as you pointed out, my lord. That pre-determined choice would...narrow your options for how to deal with the situation.
What would happen if there is a task that puts yours against the team that was chosen?
