I never expected this from you.
-- Guys, we're on the same path right now, and I'm not your enemy, okay? I mean, you know my side, you can execute me at any moment if something goes wrong, okay? So, it's mutually beneficial to defeat the third side together, and then the victory is all yours, right? So, peace, we have a deal, okay?

In the case of Yashur, it was even funnier; both sides didn't seem very eager to win when forming the "alliance"... However, everyone still strived for it in one way or another: Yashur needed protection, and the factions needed Yashur; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle the mafkas.
