"Tortured? That's a strong word for only being here two days to observe. Every city has its slums, although these in particular among the worst I've seen. Roving caravans still had better living conditions than this."

"Look, I understand that you were a king, and a benevolent king at that, and I'm not sure about Erik over here, but I'm no hero. I spent the better part of my days avoiding trouble rather than looking for it. All I see here is three conspirators with no support, and a lot of blood to be spilt if they wish to succeed. I'm sure there are others with the same ideals as you, and eventually you will find them, but this city isn't any of my business. What's a lone outsider to say about a city he doesn't know, and even caused trouble in? This all to me seems incredibly foolhardy, and a deathwish practically."
He sighs.
"I'll still help you guys out. I owe you two my life, but I'm not going to throw it away for you two either. Immortal as we may be, I don't want to be hunted for the rest of eternity or however long this government lasts because we decided to pull the trigger too early. Heck, I don't even want to pull the trigger at all."
