Tell me, did you ever wonder why the men of the Night’s Watch take no wives and father no children? So they will not love. Love is the death of duty. If the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do?
What is honor compared to a woman’s love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother’s smile? We’re all human. Oh, we all do our duty when there’s no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet sooner or later in every man’s life there comes a day when it’s not easy. A day when he must choose.

It’s not as funny once you realize medieval hours were a lot harder to measure accurately, and I’m pretty sure that means the Witch leaves that portal open for six hours just to be certain.
One step further in the plan

I dub thee… Sir Mix-a-Lot.
*walks to the portal*
*portal closes*
“Oh shoot, I should have just sent you through instead of wasting all this time with ceremony.”
