"I can't leave," Devin said simply. "I can't leave when my friends are willing to die for something. Something I'm willing to die for, too." He looked Tim fully in the eyes, attempting (and succeeding!) to look braver than he felt. "I can't go off and live a normal life when I could be helping stop people from dying. Can't go off and be a Healer like you and wouldn't want to; better fighter than a fixer, and I gotta help how I can. So." He paused, looking broody for a moment before adding, "I've got a nephew now. Can't not fight for him, can I?"
