There's a line between "reasonable concern" and "invasive prying." I'm aware of the fire and the nightmares, as well as how I would behave following being the direct cause of such matters for my Bonded or a stranger.
[He's caused Myr grief, after all. Deep pain and horrific upset. Flaunting it and openly intending to do it again seems absurd, even by his shamefully low standards as a serial-wounder.]
He's new. It means he's still green.
[Not too late, in other words, to callously show him his place.]
[ viren's very much capable of reading between the lines -- perhaps, especially, most willfully with implications such as these. he'd considered something as mild as waiting on whether username would try to make good on their alleged jest. ]
[ even if his mind still feels clouded with irritation, it does give him pause. ]
An opportunity to snuff out a spark before it can become a blaze, in other words. [ yes; in however myriad of poetic ways viren would like to put it. ] It's certainly not a thought without worth, no.
I'm of the mind that even if one's crime is just a few words, if those words amount to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, some sort of comeuppance is in order.

It's not a chance I want to take.

[ granted, viren hasn't asked -- he'd think myr to be forthcoming, if possibly downplay any danger to the situation. ]
