Keep April away from me. She's so blinded that it has become a severe danger, so keep her away from Raina and myself.
Then, and only then, you and I can talk.
[It was at least an improved situation: April was intolerable and of poor judgement, absolutely the sort of straw to break a camel's back. Chilton thought even less of her as she stood by Will through this -- hell, she was more likely to forgive Dorian for his abuse and manipulation of Will, a conclusion that required little psychological analysis. Because of this, because of how she had always been to him, she was a toxicity that Chilton could easily snub.
But Will Graham was a different kind of bile. Frederick Chilton couldn't as easily say no to him, and he so deeply feared that the both of them knew it. Even as he was wounded, even as he stood betrayed, he knew he couldn't forever excommunicate Will. No matter how hard he tried.
He couldn't pinpoint what was so wrong with him to feel that kind of mercy.]
