Peter was also of the same thought, Elle really should be resting. At the same time, he didn't want to let her out of his sight. He would be forever grateful to Claire for bringing Elle back to life, but he couldn't help worrying about her.
Peter knew that if Elle was at her full strength, she'd be one hell of an opponent. She'd defend this place, well. Peter had no doubt about that. Unfortunately, Elle was not at her best at the moment and Peter wasn't sure he wanted her out there with everyone else. "I'd feel better if you stayed here," Peter admitted, speaking somewhat quietly. His worry and fear were evident in his voice.
Looking back to Angel, Peter nodded. "I'll be part of the second team," he added. He was willing to help with the defense, he wouldn't have it any other way.
