Celestia resumed, "The only way I could possibly trust you enough with such a gesture on my part would be a guarantee, a rock-solid proof that you are not an ally of the changeling queen. That you would never abuse such a privilege in their favour and that…" She faltered for a moment. "It’s a bit late to demand you not be a threat to my ponies entirely. You can see why what you're asking is impossible."
