"I would like for you to feel comfortable telling me when things are wrong," Alec allows, because that's true, "But it doesn't make me angry with you."
"Yes, but usually in consistent ways." He really isn't surprised, though, either by the Admiral or by Credence not saying anything and not thinking anything is wrong.
"The end goal is that you feel confident in speaking up. That's it."
"...alright," he says. Reflexively, he splits that in half. Speak up, he
supposes he can do if Alec needs him to. Feel confident in doing it? Well,
that's harder, but it's not necessary, really. "I'll try."
