    It is not about trusting or distrusting Brenus. It is about trusting or distrusting a person who supports/ed a politician and is now trying to prove those, who criticize him, wrong.

    "Being not treated lightly" means "taking it seriously". It is quite different from "establishing a warm realtionship", isn't it?

    Well done, you spotted it!

    "It is about trusting or distrusting a person who supports/ed a politician and is now trying to prove those, who criticize him, wrong." They don't criticise him, they bluntly lied. Telling that someone (well, his "adviser") said something and it is not what he said, is a lie.
    Disagree with someone is normal. Using lie is not.

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
