"If I'm being completely honest, I don't even know where to start as far as asking for advice that might be relevant. I was only in the rotation once, and it didn't go that well with Silver. In fact he felt he needed to make sure I was aware how easily and thoroughly he could hurt me if he wanted to." Which, given how he already knows he's going to have to immediately shift gears with Fitz, might not be an issue, but physical violence wasn't really what he was worried about.
He remembers the part of their conversation when he'd asked Sweeney for a favor, the way he'd talked about it, he could see it was different, important to lay things out. It hadn't gotten anywhere, seeing as his request was shrugged off, but perhaps sometime he might have to, and it's good to know he is rather fair with them. "I don't like getting something for nothing, it never sits quite right, but I am getting more familiar with the concept." Having friends and people he could lean on for more than just military support, more personal things was a slow transition, but he'd get there sometime.
