[she replies in a complete and utter deadpan. This is the tone of a machine who does not care about your feelings, and will not react to them.]
The definition of proxy is an agent or substitute. As his brother, considering your obvious closeness, you qualify fairly easily, regardless of formal pacts.
If this definition doesn't satisfy your mood, then you are encouraged to look elsewhere for emotional comfort.

I'm sure we can both come to a professional agreement.

I realize that a verbal contract is about as binding as wet paper if you care to disregard it. In this place information is the only enduring paradigm. At some point in the future there will come a time when I will have information but be unable to act upon it. You have the physical ability and the connections to force action in others. As an added feature, you're not stupid.
All I ask is that when the situation arises that you take my word for fact. Beyond that, it's up to you.
