He did try, once before. Said it was killing him and driving him mad. I have only his word to go on, of course.
[She sighs again, rather tremendously.]
This is the second time we have had to deal with this, by the way. Before, Jonathan tried to help us negotiate peacefully. It was decided by a neutral third party that the gauntlets were too dangerous for him to keep. I destroyed the Soul Edge shard, then, and used the other to help create my serum.
[So it was a blessing, in the long run.]
He could not depend on them, then. But somehow, he reacquired the gauntlets intact. And as he told me, the moment he had them back he stopped trying to go without.
He claims to be sincere this time. Says he wants to be rid of the gauntlets, and that my cooperation will allow me to destroy the shard, as I wish. But it requires me to place quite a bit of faith in him that I do not have whatsoever.
