He didn't leave until I did. And then... [Sigrun actually takes a moment to recall the name because she's in no mood for the nicknames she comes up with:] Then Jolyne did the same. And a bunch of others messed with the bandages.
It's not like I was going to lose the arm, it had been just a bullet grazing me. Wounds opening against isn't all that worth fretting about.
[She says that, but...at the same time, after Adlet's absolute betrayal, others seeming to show honest concern for her...
Yeah that also sounds about right. He's a doctor, so he has an infinite amount of patience for his patients. [ bad joke. ] ...Jolyne was pretty worried. I think she's worried about all of us for the same reason we were already talking about. We're the last full team left.
People reacted because it was a scary situation for them to witness and not be able to help. Even if you're used to wounds opening and it was just a graze, it's still an unpleasant experience. People are going to worry because we're not actually strangers.
[ again, different than what he said before, but still. ]
...people are going to want to make sure you're okay. Currently, most of us are united.
Fine. I got no choice but to take it. I can't even lie and say I'm not glad about that all. Adlet, he...he was someone I really trusted completely. So to see others seem worried about me during these last few hours has helped somewhat.
[ he's giving her a faintly confused look, but like he's trying to understand. ]
Sigrun, you seem surprised that people would be worried in the first place. Even with Adlet being someone you trusted, he's the one who held you hostage, remember? People are going to worry about you physically and otherwise.
[ emotionally, but he thinks she doesn't have to have that spelled out loud and she can infer it. ]
...I hate giving other people reasons to worry for me.
[A little pride, a little ego, and a whole lot of feeling responsible for others' wellbeing. Perhaps not to the point she'd rather they don't, but to misstep and be in a position where she needs someone else to be concerned about her or something she did, well, it feels like she did something wrong and therefore shouldn't happen]
If someone worries over me then I did something wrong, that simple.
[She did: she trusted the wrong person and it ended up in she being taken in a hostage situation]
That makes two of us. [ mostly out of pride because nico's been taking care of himself for years and it always feels a little weird when people worry and he doesn't know how to address it. so he does understand where she's coming from. at the same time: ]
But there are some things that are inevitable. And there are some things you can't predict even when you do everything right. Not that simple. It just means having to allow people to interject.
[Will didn't say anything close to that, but she can sense what Nico says being rooted in generally the same kind of point Will had said to her when he had come earlier]

...you really sound like Will when you say that.
[Will didn't say anything close to that, but she can sense what Nico says being rooted in generally the same kind of point Will had said to her when he had come earlier]

Probably because Will's said similar enough before. Or I've just been spending too much time around him. That doesn't mean it's wrong though.
