"What would they do? What could they take that has any meaning to me? What can they do to me that will matter?" Although it's a very serious topic, he is .. gently amused. Not so much at Avalon, but the idea itself.
Death had no meaning. He had no objects of value here. What could anyone really do? "I'm sure there's people here with quite a collection of important things, or reasons for concern, but ... I can trust, because there's nothing anyone can do."
“I lock my cabin because I keep weapons here, and I would not be doing my job if someone took them and used them to cause harm. Also, some people need to be denied access to things like that in order to learn.” Avalon had. The Barge had needed to strip their options away one by one before they considered a different path. “I was thinking that you might want to protect something that was important to you, but if not, then it makes sense to trust.”
"Our situations differ." A warden would, reasonably, have a very good reason to lock a door. They likely had access to all KINDS of things that inmates generally did not; weapons, magic items, the possibilities were endless.
For a warden, not using a lock was probably the height of irresponsibility. "I... can't say I have anything important to me here, besides people. And I can't very well lock them up in my room." His tone turns that last part into a joke, he's certainly not even THINKING about it. "I suppose it's for the best. But I'll endeavor to be there when you turn up, either way."
