[He shakes his head and holds up both his hands.] I'm not asking you to rush into or commit to our conflict. I'm warning you so you aren't pulled into it. Whatever you decide about it, even knowing about us Paladins puts you at risk.

If you'd rather back away entirely, I understand and will still let you know if I see your friends. But I can't in good conscience tell you about us and not explain the risks.

For all we know I could just be too cautious and nothing will happen to that end. [It never hurts to be prepared. He drops his hands and rakes his hair back out of his face. The more people know about them the more people he has to account for and shield if they need it.]

Especially when you've been willing to help and been as considerate as you have been.
