[Conrad frowns a little, thinking.] You raise an interesting point about the way information was presented to me. [it's difficult to remember the exact order of the conversation; much was said, but that doesn't sound correct.] But regardless.
I didn't feel, at the time Sir Guilford and I spoke, that he was using me as an audience for propaganda, or trying to necessarily convince me of his side. He wanted to break the control that was over him, and I pressed him for further information. [shakes his head] Perhaps he misjudged what I should be told, but I would not feel right about having the blame placed on him when it was I who pressed for further details. I feel uncomfortable with saying that he caused this situation, when if I had not pushed him things would be very different. [a truckload of guilt for that, by the way.]
As to keeping the information to myself... [he hesitates. He does not want Josak involved in this, but in the interest of honesty] Before I went to Suzaku, I did inform Josak Gurriere. He, too, protects our King. The only other person I intended to speak with on the matter is Miss Inoue, and only for the purpose of removing the curse. [Which, his tone makes clear, he's not even sure is worth attempting at this point. Who knows what discomfort that could cause?] Aside from that, as I've said, I have no interest in causing conflict where there is an accord for peace. If my silence will allow for that, presuming all other factors remain unchanged the safety of others is not in question, then that is the course I will take.
