Remember That You Trust Me/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character has to be reminded that he trusts others.

• Straight: Jack and Horatio became Fire-Forged Friends after fighting a troll. When Jack investigates a dragon, he finds Horatio sneaking about and tells him that they fought against the troll again. Horatio tells him what he learned.
• Exaggerated: Horatio acts wary whenever he meets Jack.
• Justified: Habit's a hard thing to break.
• Inverted: Horatio always trusts anyone who's been nice to him.
• Subverted: Jack was trying to pry open Horatio so he can kill the dragon and get credit.
• Double Subverted: Except that he knew that facing the dragon would kill Horatio and he doesn't really care about credit.
• Parodied: Horatio has to be reminded constantly. Once an Episode, maybe even Once A Scene.
• Deconstructed: Jack becomes even more suspicious of Horatio, since people with actual trust relationships don't need to remind each other of the fact.
• Reconstructed: Horatio's Dark and Troubled Past comes out, and he begins the slow process of undoing all the bad habits it taught him.
• Zig Zagged: ???
• Averted: Once Horatio has won Jack's trust, Jack never seems to doubt that fact.
• Enforced: The producers want the freedom to run episodes Out of Order, so they make sure this important bit of characterization between Jack and Horatio is kept fresh.
• Lampshaded: ???
• Invoked: ???
• Defied: ???
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
