[ FIRST OF ALL did he just call him lucan, and SECOND OF ALL fuck texting his fingers are too fat and he's too medieval and shit for this technology garbage. ]
I am honored for the promotion. What sparked such a dramatic switch in position?
[ Fine. Whatever. Savir was going to get the full transparency thing apparently because he didn't have the bravado to put effort into his usual charades. ]
Found out Clayton is an unjust murderer. No biggie.
Airy's boyfriend made me aware of details I hadn't known previously. Never would have hired the bastard if I did.
[ He inhaled deeply and exhaled in a way that made it evident how tired he was. He'd tried lightening the burden a bit by talk to Toby, but... they weren't close. It wasn't the same as talking to a friend. Was Savir his friend? Tony wanted to think so. He hoped so. He really needed one. ]
Clay killed her family. [ Maybe it wasn't something he should have spoken, but how could he keep Airy safe if he didn't tell? Tony couldn't protect anyone without his Iron Man suit. Savir was his only viable offense. ] It's... sort of an issue that hits close to home. I don't really know where to go from here. It feels like I should be doing something for her but considering the information came from Nathan my hands are tied.
That's my plan but I can't enforce it without you. Everything that made me able to keep people safe where I came from isn't here and I don't have time to do anything about it.
[ Which was frustrating to say the very least. ]
I don't know. I'm trying to anticipate anything because I clearly don't know him at all. I thought I was starting to but now if he dropped dead I don't think I'd give a damn.
If you truly believe him to be a threat, then I will make sure that he remains as far from both you, and Airy, as I can manage. Unfortunately, that is all I can offer. It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but I believe you have made the right choice.
Though it may not seem so by my demeanor, I was once a knight and I do have some semblance of honor. I cannot allow you to attempt to bear this burden alone, when I can assist easily.
[ he can't see it, but savir shrugs, his voice light. ]
[ Tony had to let those words sink in. Not for so long that the silence would be telling, but long enough to register someone like Savir was actually saying something like that to him. That didn't usually happen. ]
Listen. People don't say that to me, Savir. They don't care. Even if this is just you doing your job I'm going to thank you anyway. [ He cleared his throat. This situation was foreign but it meant more to him than he'd let on. ] So.... thank you. Honestly. I don't know if I could trust anyone else with this.

Dare I ask how that particular crime came to light?

Removing him from the premises and keeping him as far from her as possible is likely all that can be done for now. Do you think he would harm her?

Y'know, this is getting really gay.
