Honestly, I think a tussle with you would mean everybody wins.
[He was going to laugh, but after Chloe rested on his shoulder he sensed that he should ease up and let her relax. He rubbed her side lightly as he spoke.]
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and trust your judgement... I think you probably know him a little better than I do. But seriously, Chloe, if he tries anything, anything shady at all... especially towards you. Let me know. I don't doubt that you can handle yourself... but... well you know. I'm ... I'm here for you.
[He recalled a time when Nate was young and he said something similar to him. It was almost the same conversation, but it was different with Chloe. He was worried about her safety, no less than he was Nate's... but there was a little something extra that he couldn't really put his finger on. It was familiar.... but, well he didn't dwell on it much longer, returning his focus to trying to help her relax a little more.]
My lips are sealed, honey. But honestly, I think it's probably easier for me to keep that information to myself than it is for you... I mean, I wasn't even there, I heard from you guys. I am sorry you had to be there though... I don't think I ever had the chance to see how you were going after that... Because now I'm here...
[Victor let his last sentence drift off, realizing he must have been rambling. He let the silence linger in the hopes that Chloe would continue to ease.]
