Well, apparently this is going to turn into a show. That's fine by Devin, although he'll have to be considerate of how sharp he allows his barbs to become. If Fitz has a tendency to fly off the handle, riling him to that point would be counter to Devin's purpose. He needs Fitz's cooperation, but not his friendship.
"As you wish," Devin returns, not bothering to hide the edge of slyness in his voice that's mirrored in his expression. If there can be amusement found in this situation, so much the better. He hesitates, and continues more quietly: "We'll get it figured out. I'm glad you felt you could bring this to me."
Of course, he'd rather there not have been a reason to need help; but however reluctant Devin is to let people into his life, once there he has every intention of keeping them safe. At least now, the threat does not have roots with him.
