Admittedly, he had come here as a show of grace to Artorias, the Aegis likely knew him well enough to know that he would not agree to an alliance this day. He was not quite so cut off from the world as he had initially intended Tojo-kai to be, but his principles still remained in place; Hattori had he and his own to look out for, he would always put them above all else. But still, would he truly just stand by and watch the world burn, if it came to that?

"I do appreciate the offer, Artorias, " he dipped his head in due respect. "But unless the situation escalates, I see no reason to intervene. Should circumstances change I may reconsider, and you shall be the first to know."
