Yeah, please be safe out there, Buddy. We need you back here.

[As he watches Lighter go, he hands a hand on James' shoulder. He knows his friend isn't as connected to everyone here- that by his nature he keeps himself distant. Hell, Varian can understand it, you deal with enough loss, eventually you stop letting people get close to you to stop them from hurting you by inevitably leaving again. It's the same logic where he shares his trust with very few people. But despite all this, he has come to fight with them. He's stayed with them and now he's holding the door. He gives the shoulder a squeeze. ]

Thanks, James. I appreciate it- and thanks for the shield, too. That's- that's been a literal lifesaver. I'll work as fast as I can, okay? I have faith you can keep us safe while I do that.

[With that, he turns to his fiance and brother in law. ]

You two try to take it easy- I know this isn't exactly the most... most restful of places, but it'll have to do. Haru, would it help if I figured out how to make the stretcher work for both of you?

[ He can do that, he's pretty sure. He nods at Jun. ]

Do it, it's- it's probably the best chance we'll have at getting anything I can use. Just tell me when you need to close it, okay?
