Lebanon poked him in the thorax.   "The best locks become mere pittance when prodded and probed correctly.  The same thing with men.  You prod them just right, and they either vindicate themselves by exposing their solid masculine virtue or they become blabbering whelps.<br/><br/>"Look..." and here, Lebanon's voice became tender, and he grabbed Alexander's shoulders with his hands,  "You may be the best alchemist this side of the river, but an infiltrator you aren't.  You don't have what it takes.  A man must always accept who he is.  You're a liability.  The ranger has what it takes.  Sewer boy, as much as I dislike him, has what it takes.  Mark my words, if you stay, you're going to regret the things that you're going to be forced to do.  Because it isn't going to be a road full of posies.  It's going to be marred by moral ambiguity.  We're going to throw out a set of nobles to establish a new set of nobles.  In the long run, everything we do is going to be for naught.  That is if we succeed, and we are unlikely to succeed.  And once you emerge on the other side, you're not going to be the same man you are now.  Leave.  You are a good man, I know that.  But good men don't stand a chance here."
