And at which point, the firm proof of your alignment will be of no use to you in your efforts to establish your innocence.

And you realize your mistake in killing me in the first place. I think it very poor taste not to take my threat seriously.

As you said, nothing is certain, and it is virtually impossible for anyone to prove their innocence.

Edit: Except in death, my friend.

If I did not take your threat seriously, I would have paid it no attention. It is indeed impossible to prove anything absolutely, but it is possible to establish varying levels of likelihood. This is preferable to gambling, and asking players to take you on faith isn't really very expedient, particularly if you are just going to kill yourself when they don't believe you. In that situation, nobody wins.

Except the werewolves.

I'd like to call your attention to something: all you did was say that the idea is silly...however, you did not outright tell me not to do it. I'd like to know: why?

I did tell you that I thought you could produce some better evidence of your innocence if you tried. That ought to suffice.

Why should Gwath have told you not to do it?

To avoid a strawman fallacy.
