honesty has worked well so far.

You carefully look about the interior of his house, searching for any sign that you are being watched. you see strange, desiccated herbs, a worn wooden chair, a comfortable hearth, but nothing out of the ordinary.

content with your search, you turn to Dorian and begin to speak.

You tell him everything, taking a leap of faith.

He waits quietly until you have finished. then, and only then, does he speak.

"This is big. Why tell me?" he asks quietly.

"I want you to join me." you reply, matching his tone.

"I see. and why should I do that?" he asks, his tone not menacing, but inquisitive.

"there will be money, women, a kingdom at your feet." You proclaim, nervous at his response.

"Yes, but those are of little interest to me. why should I join you? what wisdom is there in it?"

you are losing him, you need an answer, and fast.
