And risk you following after me anyway. I mean would you actually listen to me if I told you not to follow me?
I was lucky that damn Aardvark hadn't taken my leg off at the knee. [His pants have a sizable tear in them right at the knee. It was a close call, he'll be bruised. Aidan didn't see him walk but he's limping just a little if only until the pain dulls down some more.]
I can't protect you. [Maybe some of his guilt from the fact that girl died because of him.] I can barely protect myself.
