[He lets out a single, open laugh.]

Those are dangerous words, Charles. You don't even know what you're signing up for.

[Oh, does he ever not know. Nobody does, and nobody ever will, if Altius has anything to say about it. And yet—

And yet, a certain young man did know, as much as anyone ever has, and made a similar choice.

He lets out another half a laugh through his nose, fully suppressing anything that might indicate his inner thoughts.]

That said, I'm not opposed to the company. Just don't get your hopes up, hm?

[incorrigibles]

[ he simply shrugs and crosses his arms in return, meeting altius' gaze evenly. ]

Yeah, well. I've made all my decisions like this. Haven't regretted any of them so far.

[ yes, this is a threat — no, but take it as you will. he may not know what he is signing up for, but the fact is that he has done so, now, and he doesn't go back on that. whether altius will ever trust him enough to believe that he will make this same choice, every time... well. that remains to be seen. ]

But sure. Company's a good start.
