Boris watched them quietly as they watched him. His head cocked to the side slowly when he noticed the twige of confusion and distrust in their gazes.

He too had had that same reaction when Dominic had brought this up to him. It had been a few days before he left when Dominic had looked up from his desk and glanced with Boris. That wasn't something that was unusual when they worked, it was the words that came out of his mouth. 

'You're not ready yet…' he had muttered, his head tilting to the side as he gazed at Boris. They had turned to face each other and Boris had raised a questionable eyebrow. 'You need more things… things that can put them in place when they get out of hand.'

Boris chuckled slightly as he remembered that moment.
