Ya say that like you're plannin' on agreein' to something I wouldn't or givin' more ground than we already had to. We're not gonna be in this same position forever. The Alliance looks weak right now, so all I could do was make promises with nothing else to deliver at the moment.

[ he sips from his cup again, though he clearly has a thought in the middle of that. ]

If he thinks he's gonna ask ya t' agree to me doin' or sayin' things I won't jus' t' appease him, tell him t' grow up. I've kept it strictly professional.

[ otherwise, he's sure there won't be any issues between the alliance strengthening its negotiating position and no one to unintentionally piss off with his attitude. what else wouldn't he like? ]
