( He still doesn't see what the big deal was. He was doing what he had to do, and the risks are just part and parcel of that. He's always accepted it. )

I wasn't alone. Nor were we seeking those things out when we encountered them.

[judgementor]

That's hardly the point.

[Of course he doesn't see what the big deal is. Because he's an idiot.]

[battlebound]

( Well, yes. )

Then what is?

[judgementor]

I made a promise to look after you and being here does not relieve me of that.

[battlebound]

You weren't here when it happened.

( Which is obviously also the point. Why is Red Wine so bothered about something like that? )

[judgementor]

And now I am. Did you think a brief absence from your side would make any difference in the present?

[battlebound]

Of course not!

( It's one of the few things he accepts and respects about Red Wine. The bastard is unexpectedly loyal, diligent in maintaining his vows. )

[judgementor]

Good. Perhaps there's more hope for you than I thought.

[battlebound]
