Then isn't that all the more reason to respect his choice?
[For most people, it would be. It is for Klaus on some level too, because Cami knows how protective he is of those he chooses to hold dear. He wouldn't abide anyone else manipulating Fitz in such a way, period.
But that same connection is itself reason enough for the paranoia that so often wraps itself around Klaus' heart. Hearing the ice clink inspires the temptation in Cami to get a drink of her own, but she doesn't. Not for the moment.]
But you're afraid of what that choice will be. The possibility exists that Fitz won't be able to see past the worst parts of you and choose to stay your friend.
[The New Year's Eve conflict with Lucifer no doubt has only made that worse as well. Thankfully, from every indication Fitz is at least human, and in turn incapable of doing similar damage.
Physically.]
It's not really a friendship if it's based on manipulation, Klaus. Relationships, real ones, are forged from trust in each other.
