Pitch conceded. Tooth wanted to be satisfied with that, but she wasn't. After all this time, after all their conflicts, she knew her adversary rather well. Pitch was not one to give in without a fight. He hadn't even agreed to this proposal without question, so what had brought on this sudden change of heart? No way Pitch liked Tooth's offer that much.
Tooth was suspicious, but ultimately, she was also without proof. Whatever Pitch was thinking, whatever he was planning, she could do nothing about. Not right now. She had to work with what she had available to her...
Shelter now taken care of and off the list of negotiating material, there was really only one other thing that Guardians needed...that Pitch needed, too. It was the one thing Tooth didn't want to compromise on, and it was the one thing there would be no way around.
She struggled with how to put into words the next decision. Worded just right, and she could have Pitch's hands tied. Worded too loosely, and he would find all the holes to crawl through.
"Secondly," said Tooth, her mind racing, a labyrinth of actions and reactions, "no one gets hurt."
