Ah, you misunderstand. I'm not saying you should trust me—very much the opposite. I'd consider you an idiot if you did.

[ they are not asking for trust. ]

However, practically speaking, you stand to gain more from working with us than not. Especially because—as I said, I'm fairly weak. I may be in a position of relative power to you, but that doesn't mean you couldn't just kill me.

I'm aware of that, so. I don't consider myself much of a threat to you. Though it flatters me you'd consider me one.
