That final clarification was wise, with how much bitterness they hold about the position.

It's just a favor being offered. A favor from a friend, even as he's cautious against too much involvement. Kind of him despite their not wanting to risk it. Politics are difficult, and hold danger less obvious than crumbling ruins or a possessed population.

Thank you.

Unsure what more to add--there's much they could, and most but some pleasure at better fit than the last would only further sour the mood--they simply offer that with a deep bow.
