Just to be clear, even if I say yes — if the Ringmaster says no, then I can’t take you.
[ But everything else ... ]
If you’re a nightrunner, you have to follow what I tell you to do, and if the Ringmaster says we stop, we stop. You have to put other people in the Carnival before yourself, not just your brother. If there are people in trouble you don’t like, even people you hate, you don’t have a choice — you still have to save them.
You want to prove yourself? Prove yourself to the other nightrunners first. You’ll be working with them, depending on them, and if they won’t have you then you’re not going to be worth much of anything.
There are other ways to protect the Carnival. If you’re set on this one? That’s what I need from you.
