Galaxian shook his head. "We always blame ourselves, or even sometimes others, for 'what we should have' done, seen...you trusted Shiloh. Treachery was the farthest from your mind. And for Oswin, the Jackal took advantage of his weakness at the time--persuasion centers around making someone trust yourself, does it not?--and the Jackal has the power of persuasion. We don't see ourselves getting hurt by people we trust, voluntarily or not, and they can take advantage of that. Jackal took advantage of your friend and manipulated him to be this way, and Shiloh took advantage of you. We just try not to let it happen again." The long preaching by the loyalty god done, he gave Ishmael a pointed look. "And we, because we experienced something like this, shouldn't take advantage of others' trust towards ourselves, because we know it hurts when someone does that."

That was essentially his passive-friendly way of reminding Ishmael that he still saw the two of them as friends, and overall trusted the other god, but he was going to have a problem if Ishmael killed someone again.
