[ deuce is right about the first part, so not much more needs to be said on it. anyway, the rest of the other boy's message has his full attention, so it's not like he's completely in the right of mind to be offering more fired-up encouragement. deuce may be a dumb-dumb, but he has a really good heart, riddle notes. ]
I'm not used to working with things that don't have a concrete answer. Maybe you're right, however. Maybe there is no perfect way to navigate something like this...
It doesn't feel right to promise it will never happen again, because the transformation felt out of my control. I don't want to lie to you or break a promise. But I *can* promise that I'll do my best to prevent it.
Normally I would say if you punched me, I would attack you right back. But, since we've promised, I can trust you not to do such a thing without good reason.
A good queen should listen to their subjects. I want to start doing the same. Especially when they are as courageous and dependable as you are. Apply those qualities to your studies, and you'll be a model student in no time.
I'm pleased to hear that. Be sure you continue tempering yourself, and do the Queen of Hearts proud.
You're welcome, Deuce. It's getting to be a bit late, so I'm going to have some ice cream and go to sleep. Don't stay up for much longer yourself, alright?

I'm sorry, that's just my first solution to most issues.
But I don't need any thanks. I just said what came to mind. Though thank you for listening to me.
[Sometimes other people don't take him very seriously, so he appreciates Riddle taking him as seriously as he would any other student.]
