"I would not expect your trust." How could he? He would be fighting against his own soldiers. He would be betraying them. Of course that wouldn't engender trust. Or respect? Turncoats don't generally deserve respect. "I will aid yours and you in this fight. Tell me how I can help." He seemed cautious and... Guilty. For too many reasons to note, but there was the sense of betrayal, as well as realizing even then, he was betraying the 'bad' side, at least... If these soldiers gave any indication.
