OKAY SO ... Allen doesn't really ... he still doesn't quite 100% trust people as a whole. He trusts maybe ten people in Aather tops, but to different degrees. At the highest tier are his canonmates, and then IMMEDIATELY BELOW THAT is the triumvate of Mal/Excel/Mau. He trusts Rabi and Lenalee with the terrible memories and the truth of himself (and the name Allen), and he trusts those three members of his team to make the right/hard decisions for Sapphire, and he trusts them to deal with him as he is in Aather, prickly and wary and distant towards most people.
After that, it's kind of varying degrees of ... people being people. He trusts Wrath to get it when he admits he has a hard time with people, he trusts the rest of Sapphire to be Sapphire and therefore "his team," he trusts Lloyd to understand his philosophy even if the particulars are different--and on the flipside he trusts some people to be assholes and idiots and creepy bastards! HE IS PRETTY ZEN WITH THAT!
Basically he's gone up a gradient step--he's gone from automatically distrusting everyone to being cautious, but not outright shutting them down. But for the most part he puts actions over words, just like he always has! And he doesn't differentiate between being in games versus being outside of them, so he tends to really distrust people on teams who pick themselves over others. You can argue with him all you like that you're a good person oh nooooo I would never! but if you don't back up what you say with what you do, he'll just kind of roll his eyes and be like w/e w/e come back when you can back yourself up and prove it!
He's basically gotten back his most dere and loving/trusting memory at this point, and the longer he's had to assimilate it, the better he'll be about it, but overall ... he will definitely weigh what you do versus what you say, and judge you based on that. :|a
