I was telling them what a draft was, and what it meant, and that I didn't want them to hurt anybody too badly. Even if I got hurt, I didn't want them to... you know... [to kill] the person who did it. Um, we'll focus on distracting enemies so you two can fight, and since my team is big we can all stay behind them... If things get tough, Moo can do ice things and Wig can handle warding off people too.

[His team isn't the strongest or the fastest, but as the defense build of the team they can sure as anything do that. Lax tugs at Diamond's hand because what is he gonna do.]

Lax can help distract too, even if he's not as big as the others, so with his fur we'll be okay too. I know everything he's hiding in it after all. [A pause. He's not a leader.] I don't want... I don't want to see either of you at your full power either, no matter what. I want everyone to stay safe.

[He knows it's asking a lot, but he's baring his heart and that's honestly all he wants.]
