I can't give you good reason to. [Clearly. Felix wouldn't have to ask if he had reason to trust him. He's already put his neck on the line for Dimitri and Dimitri had crushed it under his fingers. He'd done it countless times before, too. At the rebellion, at the academy. Every time he called Glenn's name instead of Felix's in his delirium.] Not yet. I'm working towards that. For now, I can only give you my word.

[He clenches his biceps.] I won't hurt you again. I swear it, Felix.
