"We do. However..."

"You are worried about Eldrian?"

"Yes. We know he isn't one of us, but... To betray him like this."

"It ultimately still depends on him."

"That doesn't make us feel any better."

"We do. In return, you will supply us with the key. Nothing less will be accepted."

"Yes. I understand."
