Okay, but its still funny. And Deacon appreciates the attempt enough to snicker softly, even as they turn toward a more serious topic.
Trust is a delicate, fickle thing. Deacon doesn't want to say it out loud, but Danse's history- joining the Brotherhood- makes his judgment of trust in general kind of weak in Deacon's eyes. It's all well and good that he's no longer part of it. That thrills him, but the fact that he was able to look at what they were asking of him and not question it makes Deacon side-eye everything being preached to him now even more. It's not Danse himself that Deacon finds untrustworthy as much as Danse's judgment of others... but Deacon is well past paranoid and has become something even worse. Something that there probably isn't even a word for in English. Maybe German. There's always some twenty-letter German word for everything.
"You'll have to forgive me for wanting to make my own calls there, pal." he mutters with an exhale. "Don't worry though, I'm great at learning from my own mistakes."
