I believe we're already at the reckless stage. Rather, I advise against heroic last stands if we can at all avoid them.
[Jusis really doesn't want Elliot to storm whatever hell he ends up in to drag him out by the collar while yelling about how stupid and reckless Jusis was.]
I will keep that in mind. I know someone who has had more than enough of heroic displays, and though she isn't here for the sake of the others I will be cautious.
[Normally, Jusis would be asking many questions. He'd ask more details on what Takame is capable of doing. Most importantly, the blond would ask why Takame wants to volunteer as a final determinant of suitability. Though it's not seen in his expression or in his voice, the simple truth is that he's still reeling from having his family secrets laid out in such a manner. He's still in crisis, feeling as if one false move or one wrong word will lose the people he holds dearly to his heart.
God, he hasn't felt like that since—]
No, not today, but I'll contact you if anything comes up. [Jusis gives him a polite nod, compartmentalizing his emotions even as the compartments are starting to overflow.] Be safe on your way home.
[Jusis then starts to walk off in a different direction. He's got more work to do.]

I'll do my part as well to ensure we return safely.

I'm afraid I can empathize with her. Someone dear to me has those... recklessly selfless tendencies, no matter how much I caution him against it.
[He shakes his head. No, he should be focusing on their business.]
Now, do you have any other questions for me?
no subject
Or he would try not to. He shook his head.]
I've no further questions, unless you need to ask me anything?
