Good gods this boy is pure. Now that Colin knows what he himself is capable of, his suspicion seems increasingly unwarranted. It makes him feel even more like shit that he's having to read him like this, even to protect another friend. Though if Faro turns out to actually be this good, he will understand in the end. Which will somehow make Colin feel even worse.

His gaze falls away. "I'd like that. I want to stay friends. It's been sort of a bitch, trying to get them in the first place."
