As the kind of person I am, I can't represent you.
[ it's blunt, and he goes on: ]
Picking you was... foolish. Seeing my brother here made me realize that. [ he turns his gaze to the ground ] In a dream, it felt--good, to even be recognized by someone who would call themselves so. But the actions I've taken in the name of love and loyalty, for my brother, for my village... All they've done is hurt both of them. Perhaps irreparably, should my brother get what he wants.
[ he looks at them for this next part, face serious: ]
I truly believe a pantheon lead by someone like you is the path your group should take. But I can't help you win-- or, rather, if you're truly like your name, I doubt you'd approve of the only methods I know to ensure your victory. Yet, I can't insure my brother's loss if that's the case. And I ... cannot let that happen.

Forgive me.
