Like Haraldson, if he'd had thrice the tones he'd been born with. This man is used to commanding others. She doesn't need to try to guess as much; but whatever else there might be to him, she can't yet fathom.

Something that to some degree, they have in common. Because she eats as much as she pleases. If it has been provided for all to partake of such bounty, then there is no need to stand on ceremony.
