Wow. These two just seemed to keep taking what he was saying the worst possible context it could be taken. Raising a hand to touch his forehead, Rip couldn't help but sigh. Yes, he had been out of line in bringing up the expendability that he had initially assigned to Mr. Rory when bringing them all aboard, and he would freely admit that he regretted that for more than a few reasons. But in this moment, all Rip could think was that the two of them were rather drastically overreacting.
But it was also two against one, in a situation where he wasn't in a great position to do anything to defend himself should it come to that. Any attempt would likely end poorly for everyone involved, though, he would get the brunt of it.
"Fine," Rip said, keeping his voice level as he turned back towards the door. "We'll have this conversation later, when both of you are more open to being reasonable and understanding the situation as it stands."
