I'm talking about a promise that has nothing and everything to do with this. Nothing to do with the Items, or with our goals... just with us. Of course, I'm going to swear that oath to you... but I'm suggesting this as well.
Have you heard of the term 'blood brothers' before? It's a promise of loyalty formed by mixing our blood. By mixing the blood from both of our hands, in that way, we become symbolically linked as 'family' as well as whatever else we are. You could call it a sacred oath. It's a promise of kinship that can never be broken, or betrayed. A promise of trust. By taking it, we swear to never intentionally betray, murder, or abandon one another.
...though, knowing us, I wouldn't suggest promising not to hurt one another.
