"...where obviously I hate Asmodeus and want Him to die as painfully as is possible for a god.  But things are decision-theoretically complicated and we're in something like a cooperation-defection dilemma.  I don't need to grab after every possible short-term advantage of 'my side' against Asmodeus, because that's not what grownups do, hint hint.  It's just like how Keltham is bringing us here, and letting us go shopping here at all, because he correctly trusts that we'll only serve our interests in ways that don't hinder his interests."

"To put it another way, I know Nethys wouldn't allow us to be here, if it was going to mislead Cheliax and injure Asmodeus because I hadn't warned you to disguise yourself.  Not that I'd need that, I just - wouldn't upset a multiagent cooperative arrangement where somebody trusted me, even if I could benefit from doing that - but even if I wasn't that type of person, I'd know that Nethys was good at predicting me, and that choosing to upset the arrangement is like choosing not to be here in the first place."
