“That’s it? You say ‘I’m sorry’ and we’re just supposed to accept it?” Regent spoke for the first time since we’d arrived.
What else do you expect that isn’t already covered by the deal?
It seems to me that if you want something more in restitution, you’ll need to tell him what.
Coil stopped, and we were forced to stop or we would have walked right into him. He spoke, “If you accept my deal, I will undertake no plan of this scale without first consulting you, the Travelers and the independent villains that work for me. It is my hope that you would be able to inform me about any flaws or unintended consequences regarding my schemes.”
Sounds reasonable.
Grue unfolded his arms, “I can’t say for sure. Maybe.”
I spoke, “I like the idea, but no offense, I’m not sure I trust you that far. And don’t say that Tattletale would find out and tell us if you bent the rules and tried to slip something past us. She’s not infallible. Sorry, Tattle.”
It’s true – there’s been plenty of things Tattle failed to Know. Taylor might be more aware of that than most.
Tattletale shrugged at that.
“I’ll leave you to think on the idea,” Coil spoke, “There’s no action or gesture I can really take that will earn your trust in one fell swoop.
All I can do is to work with you, giving you no more reason to distrust me.”
Yeah, that’s how trust works.
