Yeah I think I'd only be useful with medics-- or from a sniping point maybe?
[The more he thought about it the more it sank in he was going to likely go into something horrible. What with how Zevran was responding. Surely he'd have faith in Jack's capabilities to miraculously avoid imminent death]
I'd say the same for you. Stay with us? We're all going together, it seems.
[voice/Action House 51]
[His mind has already shuttered over to business mod, cataloging what weapons he can take, what he couldn't carry, what poisons and oils and poultices he'll have the time to make- tonight would be a busy one before he crawled in with Jack and Eugene.]
Me? No. As much as it would comfort me to keep you in view- no. Those that fight should be on the front line to spare those that are not accustomed to violence the same position.
[voice/Action House 51]
-what?
[It was a late response, but he didn't care, bursting into the already-in-progress strategising. Not only was his partner being put into a war zone, but their . . . Zevran, was going out into the thick of it?]
Look, Zev, I'm sure you're brilliant at killing things, but . . . really now, are assassins honestly front-line sort of fighters?
[voice/Action House 51]
[He offers them both his most confident, winning smile.]
You stay with the medics, Max with the mages, I at the front line, and by the time it is all over we return to our home with new stories to share and perhaps a scar or two to cover once they have healed, mm? We'll be fine.
[voice/Action House 51]
[Confident smile or not, the morose look Eugene kept giving him didn't improve. In fact, he only rose a brow before taking a quick intake of breath and turning to Jack]
Y'know, Jack, for once I have to agree with you. He sure is armed to the teeth, but I don't know about taking on an entire platoon of whatever we'll be fighting by himself.
[Luceti had no trained rank and file. At least in Abel they had the Major and a few others who knew how to organize, but Lucetians on the other hand... Eugene had his doubts about how well they'd do as an organized unit. Which, if Eugene was remembering correctly, Zevran was travelling with while fighting these tainted creature hordes.]
[voice/Action House 51]
That, and their life prior to Luceti still wasn't a matter of conversation, Not yet.]
Since we're going to have to do this anyway, I've been taking lessons in shooting a bow and arrow. Do you have one to spare? I can make good use of it and Jack's pretty handy with healing... I'd actually... I'm more worried about you. Considering you're still healing from the... thing... from before.
[voice/Action House 51]
[It's the closest to angry he's ever sounded, with either of them. It's dangerous, it's not an experiment or a joke or a game and he is not risking either of them, or allowing them to risk themselves.]
Remain with the healers. I will be fine. I've worked in worse condition than this.
[voice/Action House 51]
Well. I guess I'll just sit with the healers and make sure I don't become a casualty. Or a burden, or both. You run off bravely and head into battle~ I'll be here for moral support.
[Eugene would find another way. He was getting pretty sick of being left behind on account of being unable to walk]
But I do mean it when I say I'm a pretty good shot.
[voice/Action House 51]
[Zevran wants to be kind. He does. But battle is no place for kindness, nor is preparing for it. He sighs and walks to Eugene's side, hands light and easy on his shoulders.]
I will survive the fight. I know this as I have survived many. I do not know if you will be able to as well and worrying about that- not knowing if you are safe. I am not doubting your ability to shoot. I am doubting the defenses we have on hand.
