Then it is my job to convince him it does not make sense to turn.
James's loyalty is conditional, but in a way that readily aligns with our own purposes. He will always act as he believes as right. The tension arises when he values ideals over human lives.
It is nothing like Leonardo, who valued his own safety above all else.
In any case, I am attempting to establish safeguards. I am closely involved with the structure of TRUST, and I am working with Winter to keep an eye on the situation.
are we even sure we can trust winter? her only tie to us over atlas is her sister, and weiss isn't even here anymore
he might align with our purposes now but he's going to disagree with you eventually, he always does it's just a matter of how explosively he does if i have to work with him, i need to know the backup plan because i'm not letting him turn his gun on the girls again i'll fucking kill him first
I trust Winter. She has faced overwhelming odds in my defense, and she knows enough to worry for James's stability. She does not want to see him cross the line any more than we do.
I do not ask that you enjoy the man's company, only that you humor my efforts. Should he squander the chance, understand that I can and will personally intervene.
[ This is a very polite way of saying Not if I do first. ]

i won't be holding my breath for either of them
but if he doesn't make trouble i won't go looking for it
[That's about as far as he's willing to compromise, anyway.]
