We<em>could</em>just finish this...and you would have no ability in the world to help her, whatever the outcome." The incubus retorted, smirking a bit. "If I won, I could have you end up like her. If I lost, she'd be dead or stuck in the tree until the end of her lifespan. Either way, it wouldn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can trust me or not. I'm a demon. Whatever I do is in my own interests, not yours. However, I<em>will</em>swear to uphold the described bargain on my own True Name. But your choice is just that, yours."
