He thought about it shortly after speaking to Byerly about switching divisions. Somehow, finally laying the problem out for someone helped him to see it clearly for the first time. He doesn't need to change divisions. He needs to change himself.

Barrow was the only one who had seen him choke during battle, and had acted well. He's also clearly no longer a Templar. Even if he were, well. Templars are no longer the enemy. It's a deeply unsettling thing to think on for any length of time, but Colin's mind is made up. This is the right thing to do.

"Any old time. I'm usually out on the practice field in the afternoons." He shrugs one shoulder. "You can come find me, or I'll meet you somewhere."

So they're really doing this. Colin's not sure if he should do it near mealtimes, but he definitely needs not to do it until after business hours.

"Evening work? Maybe just...start with evening tomorrow and I can reevaluate after that?"

"Evening works fine." Barrow turns to leave, but glances back at Colin, trying not to show too much concern and mostly failing.

"Just come find me, yeah?"
