“Just as I cannot afford to trust Ronin. It makes things complicated, yes, but not impossible. I trust in your trust in Ronin - and though I’ve recently broken your trust in me whether I meant to or not, all I ask is you try even if unsuccessfully to do the same in return with Deimos.” Success was not assured, but she’d appreciate the pretty lie if that’s all he could give her. “You certainly don’t need to interact. But if he was willing to try to confront you, that’s proof of what he’s willing to do to protect me and the twins. I trust in that.” Though he has said, and proven, that her thoughts don’t much matter. She has to accept that, and does - if only for the twins.
