I can't guarantee full forgiveness from him either, but that's only because I don't want to speak for him. He's his own person and...both of them were pretty important to him, too. [ so. yeah. it perhaps does sound too good to be true, but he is doing his best here. ]
...despite...everything about this, I am glad you told me.
Yeah. [ and he does seem sincere about that. ] I've been...wondering for a while now what I could have maybe done differently to figure it all out. What he might've felt when he died. If he was really all alone, or what he was thinking at the time.
[ this might be the only time i'm glad my powers don't work here. ]
I don't really have all of those answers, but I can make some guesses. Plus, if I had learned from someone other than you, I really don't think I could ever forgive you.
Fenton, if I had zero intention of considering it I would've actually stabbed you and left. I don't wait for my enemies to hit me first. [ a pause. ] ...give me time. That's all I'm asking.
[ there's a gentle huff almost like he's amused but not quite. ]
Since Nimona knows, I anticipate getting a text from her in the next hour or so. I'll see what I can do there. And then it's just...thinking about it all on my own for a bit. But I wouldn't necessarily call this hopeless unless something else drastically changes things.
[ honest to god danny telling him he was government-assigned reigen-killing really is the one thing saving his ass here. ]
Don't wait too long to tell Will. That's the one thing I need from you.
Good. [ ...he's still scrubbing at his face and exhaling slowly.
i should give him space. i should probably get it together before nimona finds me. i should he aborts the thought when he remembers thoughtsharing is real. ]
Don't mention it. [ he finally gets up, and he begins to wander back to the door leaving behind more of the black dahlias. he pauses though and seems to debate on something. ]
...I would've come even if you didn't need to tell me something important. And if you are in trouble later...you know how to reach me.
[ which is to say he would have come whenever he called. that's all he says though before he lifts his hand in a wave without looking back, letting himself out of the room. ]

even nico's response thus far, rocky as it's been, feels kind of like that too. ]
