[Okay, yes, that is harder to assure. But at least they're sure they can't take out the person who brings them back if they die... or the original Beacon resident... it's too important a resource. It just is harder to say out loud.
The Soldier huffs out a little sigh, like it's a trial to say he won't shoot someone in the face.]
I won't. I'm not stupid.
[A pause, and then the slightly more openly truthful addition:]
Unless she does something, first. As long as she doesn't. She's fine.
You're one of the smartest people I know, Soldat. You definitely aren't.
... And thanks. For trusting me on this. I know it's a lot- [ and then some, considering what they know and don't know in this moment. ] -but thank you. It means a lot to me.
[ he smiles at soldat, his winglets flicking up in sincere gratitude. ]
Well- I need to get ready and talk to the others now. I gotta inform them and hear other perspectives for this. [ he hesitates for a bit, wondering about something. ] Do you... Do you want me to keep you updated? About this?
[Well, they're only stupid in regards to some few things. Mostly related to emotions. And themselves. And where those two things intersect. Tactically, they're very smart. They withdraw the flesh hand from their pocket finally and pat Daylight's metal arm.]
Just stay safe. That's all I need.
[They pause, and add a look that says clearly "are you fucking with me right now, Daylight, cuz that is a dumb-ass question", and then the words:]
Yes. Please keep me updated.
[Otherwise they'll fret themselves crazy and wind up really stalking the guy instead of the occasional amiable distance-check-in they do now.]
