“If I had jumped at the opportunity I would have looked suspicious, not to mention it would have given them the perfect opportunity to regulate what I see.” Celestia walks over to one of the windows lining the throne room and pears out over Canterlot. “I just want to protect the ponies of this kingdom, and I need friends to do it.”
Why would this have looked suspicious? I think it would have looked very reasonable and for the exact reasons you listed: to protect your ponies.
“You’re a colt of many surprises.” Celestia lets out a sigh and stands up. “Although I must say, I’m a little disappointed that you’re not willing to make a concrete deal with me. I could use an ally in the loop right now.”
He said he was willing and open and that there’s no rules against it. That sounds like he’s ripe to make a concrete deal to me.
