It's more...preventative than pure spite. Obviously I'm going to enjoy myself, but it's ultimately self preservation.

[His smile fades slowly. He takes a deep breath. He'd been preparing what details to share, and how to phrase them. Having his agreement already and not having to use the details to bargain for sympathy from someone he's not entirely sure is capable of it actually makes it suddenly easier to elaborate.]

I have an ugly past. The fae put me in an illusion that took me back there, and Linden saw. He knows illusion magic, and he knows my past, and there's no question that he'll put the two together if and when he feels like it.

[Then the smirk returns in a flash as he abruptly switches gears back to the details of his plan.]

He needs his fingers to do illusion magic, so you won't just get to hold them, you're welcome to keep them.

[He is very pleased with Henry.]

Linden, huh...

[He's never met the fellow, but he starts to piece such a situation together in his head. Henry raises a slender finger of protest, just a minor one.]

So he saw it, and he could put you through it again, is that what you're worried about? [A mild tip of his head, with a similarly mild smile.] Did this schmuck threaten you?

[If it were him, he'd just place his hopes in the good will of the Witch. Nothing he can do over spilled milk, and at that point, it'd be the spilled blood of a butcher shop's worth of trauma. Niles must be in a similar boat to be cautious of it.]
