I've little interest in a repeat performance of what transpired, Caster.
[Eyes ticking away again, and for a beat... he is tired. Was it an unmitigated disaster? No. But it could of been. It very well could have been. And that is enough of a lesson for Chiron to take action in whatever way he deems necessary.
Even if that answer boils down to a collar of his own making.]
[The worst part is he'd do the same thing. The worst part is he gets it and Chiron needs that peace of mind. The terrifying part is that Waver worries such a collar might be taken advantage of in the future and he needs to make sure it can come off without negative consequence if necessary.]
[Slowly, happening in tiny increments, but Chiron feels a bit of tension finally bleed out of his shoulders once a way forward has been promised. And it's only fair, after all. A vulnerability for a vulnerability. A chance for each of them to account for each other's weaknesses.
... not particularly how Chiron imagined this conversation going, but it is not... unpleasant an outcome.
