That is what I tried to tell him, but clearly my word is not good enough for him. What is the point of growing close to someone if that somehow renders your points invaluable due to some perceived "bias"?

[He doesn't get it, honestly--just because he would stand up for his partner doesn't mean he wouldn't be honest with him. Glacius paces again, confused and frustrated, before turning back to Rey and pinching at his temples in a plainly aggrieved fashion.] No matter, I'll discuss this with him later. At least you tried to talk some sense into him, but I think we both know he wouldn't stand up for himself where it matters... and now that Shadow has shown just how unhinged he is, I need to be sure he doesn't try to come after Carlisle.

Should he attack, I will deal with him--as his partner, it is my duty to protect him. But I cannot be with him every hour of every day. Will you help me stay abreast of enemy movements? I cannot risk giving Shadow an opening, not in something as... important as this.
