You'd better. You've stuck with me for so long, you've got to get your wish.
[It's a point of pride for her at this point. No one thought she would be able to win at the beginning of this, so now she's going to win and make her followers happy to spite them. :/ ]

With you to guide me, I just might . . . You have no idea what this means to me. I know how useless I am, but even I wouldn't carelessly waste this opportunity. You can rely on me.
[she actually flinches at the word "useless," then shakes her head]
...someone important to me once told me that nobody's useless. [...ugh, no, that sounds way to vulnerable. she tries again.] I wouldn't have wasted my time with you if I didn't think you could serve some kind of purpose.
[Ambition, what is the point of throwing those deliberately cold words around after revealing that tender side first? She's really bad at this hot-and-cold business, simply terrible.
Not that he fully grasps what she's conveying. Of course, even the most useless pawn can have some use if the task is simple enough. Mindlessly throwing her power around, anyone can do that.]
You don't have to worry about that. Once this week is over, I'll serve that purpose.
