That's not it at all. Matters of relative authority complicate loyalty a fair bit, to be sure, but I've been aware from the very day I arrived here that there's nobody here looking up to me that way. It's not exactly that way at home, either. You've got this dreadful notion that I go about looking down on people, and I don't.
But among folk of...relatively similar standing, which I'm to take it we all are here, proper loyalty's all about support. It's supportive to tell someone you have regard for when they're making a right awful decision, but it's also supportive to trust that if they're making a decision you're only a bit uncertain about, that they might have cause for it and as a trustworthy person you ought to give them the benefit of the doubt, as it were.
And in that circumstance? It has to go both ways.
Compromise is a word and I'm not going to assume we understand the same thing by it, either.
You'd rather open resentments? Because they seem more damaging, as I see it.
