[Raven laughed. Not his usual exuberant laugh, or even the chuckle he reserved for teasing people. This was a resigned, potentially forced laugh that said the only reason it was here was because it was necessary. If there was ever a time Raven genuinely sounded like a tired old man, this was it.]
Tear, Tear, Tear. I've been in this business long enough to know hypothetically is anything but.
Unfortunately, there's little I can do for you here. Gaining someone's trust is one of the hardest things to do, simply because so little of it depends on you. Sure, you can be as friendly and trusting as anyone else in the world, but if they just aren't the trusting sort, it's a wasted effort.
Past that, general advice on the matter is oftentimes useless. What works for one person might push another away. I'd almost say it were more of a talent than a skill.
