I helped Prisom because he was my friend, but he [i]destroyed[/i] my home. He, in a fit of rage, destroyed everything I had worked so hard to create. He scarred me." He turns, showing a horrible, hideous burn scar on his back. "And I have no obligation to help him. I am to protect my subjects." He turns back to face Dij. "I'm sorry, but unless you can find some way to repair a friendship that was broken decades ago, I can't help you. I don't..... [i]won't[/i], trust Prisom, with anything."
