Still; he'd give Raimo the benefit of the doubt for now, though he was beginning to doubt Raimo more and more as time went on. Her featherlight touch reassured him somewhat, though. At least she seemed to feel comfortable enough around him. 

"If he does decide to confront me, I will be up to the task of meeting his rebuttal," He said, Just in case she feared that the conflict might escalate. If it did, he would be ready. He wanted to relieve Raimo of his position regardless, so he might even make the first move himself. Only time would tell. "But I appreciate your concern...And the fact that you have felt comfortable enough to speak with me about this."
