That was accurate. Once you were in his inner circle, you were in. Simple as that. Though if you betrayed that trust, you didn't burn a bridge - the bridge burned you. Though Pyro had little interest in lighting this woman on fire. He liked her. He liked that she took care of Kitty in the time of need, and he liked that she took next to no bullshit. They were creatures cut from the same clothe.
"That's." John looked for words. "Yeah, I'll just light him on fire for you. Causes less damage to the town." Look at John being the responsible arsonist. "I really don't know how to handle this." He thought out loud. "See, Kitty was slated to get married before she arrived here." John spoke his thoughts out loud for Claire to hear. "And when I learned she was hiding it, and who she was marrying it stabbed me right in the chest. It was like a stake through me. I got super destructive." His darkness showing there. He went through the doors and destroyed everything crossing his path. It was what he did, it was who he was.
"I mean." He shook his head. "What do you want of it? You want it to end?" John asked looking to Claire with raised brows. Because if she wanted to be done, and out he'd offer her the couch of his and Kitty's place. "But if you don't want it to be done, you have to drive the point home, he fucked up, but you gotta let it go." He shook his head. "If you can't let it go. You can't let the pair of you move on." He looked at her with knowing eyes. "You gotta walk away." Then he shrugged.
Ultimately. "Stake your claim on your weird as fuck spider." Look, John might not give a fuck majority of the time, but he was actually smart. He knew shit.
