[ evan's anger is easy to read, even if david didn't have to be primed and ready for any aggression. seems silly to him, to get mad about it, but whatever. it is what it is. ]

[ if he blows this up here, david's gonna have hell to pay when his father hears about it. he makes an attempt to think it through first, choose his words. it might not undo the damage he's already done, but it's worth a go. ]

We're trustin' you lot, most of the cards are in your hands with this. [ which he doesn't think is an unfair statement, there's a reason he's been swallowing his pride and forcing himself to defer to evan after all. ] You might not be a total piece of shit, I dunno. Doesn't mean nobody under you's not gonna get greedy.
