" Well, I must say that if you are just a dream, then it is very strange that you have not turned into a hobgoblin, or an orc, or an elf or nymph yet, like most of my other imaginary comrades. You would also know that since I am not a Brelish national, I am an odd choice for the Dark Lanterns. If, instead, you are not a dream, you likely know that anyway since you would have gone through all of my stuff. "
" But let us say for a moment, my good fellow, that whatever task the Dark Lanterns might have for me would not conflict with my very few real loyalties, and I might, might be interested in working on their behalf. I am rather opportunistic at times, and they are not exactly bad friends to have, so there is an advantage in cooperating. "
" Of course, I have serious doubts about whether this Vessagay fellow can make completely baseless charges upon me stick, the baseless ones being all the charges that have nothing to do with me misleading officers of the law in a completely non-nefarious attempt to allow certain individuals to pursue their own investigation of the murderers. I must admit, that several parts of me would like nothing more than to give trial a shot, for my own amusement. "
" Of course the possibility exists that this unscrupulous sounding Vessagay fellow could twist the law in ways it is not meant to be and do great injustice upon me. And, I am afraid it is not a forgone conclusion that I could make a great deal of money in my counter-suit against the Watch, should they be of unsound character. So, for the sake of expedience, and the curiosity of several other parts of me, let us say that I may cooperate with the King's Dark Lanterns, at least insofar as they reveal their scheme for me, to me.
