"If she was just a civilian, I'd be fine with it." Garrot shrugs gently. "I mean, I've been out here a couple times just as a doctor. But now?" He sighs again, surprised with how open he's willing to be with someone he was just yelling at. Maybe his run-in with Zafika is getting to him more than he thought.

"When my father was a Knight, when he died, I was here." His arms gesture back towards Harsen Island. "If I..." Garrot hesitates. "If something happened to me, I know it'd destroy them. I won't let them go through that." He makes no efforts to talk about how he can just not die, as he did before. Garrot's bravado and arrogance are gone, replaced with sullen silence.
