Old Alvin took a deep breath and slowly said, "I won't choose either."

He sighed and looked into Annan's eyes, saying slowly, word by word, "I'm not quite sure if you've put some kind of 'die if you lie' Curse Binding on me… but I think you should be able to tell that what I'm saying now is all true.
