[One corner of his lip twitching at the change in Rose's posture, Dezel just barely manages to suppress the urge to scowl in aggravation. This is Rose in business mode, he knows that from seeing it countless times before. Just this is the first time he's been on the receiving end of it. He doesn't want to be on that end of it, either. In fact, it's the exact opposite of where they were when she slipped through his fingers a few months before. But what choice does he have except to indulge her? To piss her off now might get him kicked to the curb and above all else he definitely can't have that, if just for the sake of her well being.]

...fine. But in a case like that, Rule Two had better be that if either of us get in over our heads, we're in agreement to contact the other.

[Granted, Dezel seriously doubts he'll ever need to call Rose to his aid. He knows his way around well enough now to avoid hazardous situations. He also has a number of allies he can call on aside from her and beyond the Glenwood crew on the whole. Still, if he wants to appease her and match her on a business level, that has to be the way of things.]
