I understand your motivations--I really do. Death is frightening. And I know you think I'm a reckless idiot...you're not the only one, either. I can tell just by the looks people give me. But there's something you should understand.
It's not just...recklessness. I'm not just some idiot. When you've lived as long as I have, the kind of life I have, there are things much worse than dying. Much scarier. The fear that drives you to run and hide is the same fear that drives me to do the things you think are pointless and foolish, because to me, it's better than losing people I care about. That includes you, too, whether you choose to believe it or not.
I don't want to pressure you to stay here if you clearly don't want to. I know you feel no loyalty to us. But I honestly think you're as safe her as anywhere, despite the threat that hangs over us. Because we're important to each other, and we're fighters, and we're willing to do those things if it means our important people will be safe. Another team won't fight for you the way we will. And regardless of what you say or think...you will not survive on your own.
If any team stands a chance in this, despite the odds, it's Delphinus. We're prepared where other teams might not be. And I want you to be on a team that stands a chance.
