I thank you for sending your new friend my way. They helped me out when I was in a pinch and proved themselves useful. I will warn you, however to not pay heed to any council[sic] this 'friend' may give you. They are not one of us, and are not to be trusted.
Speaking of trust, you know that I only look after your best intrest.[sic] I ask you again, as a friend, to tell me about the city's defensive plans. I only want to help. When the city is attacked – and you know that it eventually will be – the resulting loss of life would be all your fault. Could you really live with that? Tell me what plans are in place, and I can help to improve them, and Jiret-menêsh will be as strong as the mountain itself.
