That does not exactly endear me to the idea of exposing you to more. You cannot run if the line defending you falls, Eugene. Not easily, not well, and no amount of tricks or traps in the world will hold back a determined army.

[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.

[There weren't words to describe how very frustrating it was to hear that come out of Zevran, to have his disabilities so plainly and bluntly stated. Initially he'd opened his mouth to respond but knew there was little arguing to be done about that.]

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.

Eugene.

[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.
