Gintaras reached for a nearby mug and drank deeply of the draught within before he answered. "If you make a deal with as abstract of a thing as a whole island, then it really doesn't matter who's flapping their gums at you at any given time. So long as the island is here, leaders come and go."
Anarchy nodded with understanding. "You're protecting yourself," she observed. "Someone could come up to us and offer us incentive to continue the alliance while they assassinate you."
"Amongst other things," Gintaras answered dryly. "I do have a political opponent on this island proving stubbornly hard to kill.

My reasons are transparent; and they are the same why I offer to return the courtesy."
