Yes, that's correct. None of us are allowed or able to interfere in any way with the affairs of another. The only way for us to learn what is said between any given god and competitor is if we trade information or receive it from another, same as any of you.

I see. The reason behind my asking was... I am not certain whether I trust him, but I'm concerned about some form of retaliation if I decided to defect.
It's possible that you may be landed with a curse if you defect, but it's hard for me to say if Cunning would be the type to do so. I feel that...so long as it were a gracious defection, he'd be less inclined to act out on it.
[Ava doesn't really seem like the type to rub salt in an open wound, but...]
I understand your concern. There are those among us who aren't above ruling through fear to keep control over a shaken following.
Not exactly, just that I can only give you my informed opinions and they may not reflect complete fact.

Ruin, perhaps. Ambition, Disorder, and maybe even Indulgence. For the last two, however, I'd think it would depend heavily on their mood. They're both rather the changeable type.
[Piety, of course, cannot provide much in the ways of expression, but one of their hands comes up over their heart, and their voice reflects the same kind of hesitation.]
I wouldn't ever try and persuade you to defect from any other team if it went against your wishes, but if you did decide to join me at any time, I'll always welcome you with open arms.

Are you allowed to interfere in the contest we're taking part in by any means?

I prefer to be as honest as possible in what I do, but I understand the feelings that tend to lead to subterfuge.

Is it too early to ask who those might be?

It would be nice to be allied with someone similar to myself.
