oh this will end well

doesn't it always with these two

Czeslaw's role in the world has been somewhat reduced to a bit part as bigger villains have emerged, to the point where he could also be a comedic recurring put-upon straight man to Claire's psychotic Jiminy Cricket. Or he could if it weren't for the ongoing fear and contempt.

Claire understands that, despite his immortality, Czes is vulnerable, and he did what he did back in 1931 in order to avoid pain and possible death. The train ride was a long time and distance away and Claire's not even bound by conductorly duty anymore. Theoretically he could put it behind them, water under the bridge, but there's something about the situation that prevents it. Claire isn't quite as established here as he is back home, he's more susceptible to blackmail in a place he can't escape. On top of that Czeslaw still acts like he's sorry he got caught, not that he's sorry for what he did. And the bottom line: Czes is just such a little tool. A lot of Claire's friends are tools but they're friends so it's okay with them...

Although he was the only known threat when Claire first got here, recently events like the Newcomer Hunt have put Claire off keeping an eye on Czes. He's only one guy after all, and despite his immortality he's not exactly strong - there's the obvious physical issue, and although Claire realised a while back that he's tougher after his extra 70-odd years of living he still sees him as mentally weak too. In a pinch he reckons he could still cow him without lifting a finger~ Which is nice to know, but Claire's less convinced that there might be a need to anymore. Not because there's any evidence Czeslaw's grown a conscience, but because there are much bigger fish to fry. Bigger, more dangerous, and more sadistic. At least Czeslaw only acts out in order to survive. Claire could almost forgive that - he comes from a very cut-throat, dog-eat-dog background himself, after all. But in a small city the scale of Czeslaw's disregard for the lives of others and his lack of noticeable remorse for it were dangerous.

But for what it's worth Czeslaw's behaviour has been acceptable - since Christmas, anyway. Well, he did rat him out to Amy - the one threat that never goes away is through what Czes knows. He may have come out to the Port but Claire still has his secrets, and although he thinks he'd know better than to try and out him again for no reason it's still a slightly unequal relationship. Which is partially why the occasional carefree badgering over the network happens, just to let Czes know Claire's still there and not giving a fuck but you better not open your rat mouth kid. ♥
