That question says a great deal about your impression of me, you realise, as well as how you, yourself, relate to other people. Specifically, to assume that I am incapable of looking out for another person unless they have some kind of intrinsic value to me, personally, might lead others to believe that you also look out for those you value, first and foremost. Particularly when they decide to do something risky.

Which can only mean that you see me as someone who operates under the same principles you do.

I didn't know you thought we had so much in common.
