Hah, no kidding. So like... a circus troupe? It kinda sounds like that. Those passed through Corona sometimes!

[Ah. But the promise. The little "..." type back and forth as Varian tries to think how he wants to address this. The comfort he had being immediately replaced with worry.]

I'd rather he didn't. Someone once broke a promise to me and it made me almost destroy my whole life. It's left me with pain I'm never going to get over. It's not a joke to me. A promise is either binding or it's not. There's no in-between. I can't... let there be an in-between.

[ He can't give leeway to a broken promise. Not ever. Of everything he's worked through in therapy, it's the one trauma that stays tight and painful in his chest, a deep, nasty wound that can't ever heal. It's part of the reason it takes a lot for him to trust anyone. To let people peek in to who he is behind all the nerdy science and helpful attitude. ]

Yeah. I'd say if the goodwill guy won't touch it, it's probably not safe to touch at all!
