THELYSSES
Just before the peace talks, I was in Nicodranas to ensure that everything was moving forward as planned on the Empire's side of things with returning the beacon. I was in disguise, but apparently I did a poor job of it because suspicions were raised and Caleb watched a conversation through his familiar -- and thus, yes, I was caught. I won't pretend that I would have told anyone if I hadn't been, you're right. But I was and in many ways I am grateful for it, because it has left me willing to reevaluate much that I otherwise wouldn't have.
As for how I can earn your trust -- I don't know, Verin. I don't know that I've earned the trust of anyone, at this point, nor am I entirely certain that I should have. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to try, whatever that looks like. I am only sorry that it took all of this for me to reach this place.
