[ that's... actually a good question, and the answer to it isn't easily put into words. the most honest answer is that aether is the same way, but to say as much would paradoxically belie his own point, and in the end, he sidesteps talking about himself. ]
a traitor will always ask you to trust him
the man who doesn't want to be trusted has at least thought, once, that he doesn't want to hurt you
You could also say, "Since I'm such a generous and well-compensated Cavalry Captain, and you are a transient youth with no place of fixed employment, don't worry about paying me back."
You could also say that.

The Knights of Favonius all seem to like and admire you.
And it's as I said: I wouldn't trust anyone else with this kind of favor.
[ but being trusted, aether thinks, isn't the same as wanting others' trust. ]
