“It means, Avice, that you walk into danger quite frequently with very little regard for your personal safety.”
"But I can still take care of myself," she said, her tone annoyed. "I don't need you to watch over my every move, but less tell me where I can and can't go."
He crossed his arms. “If this mission is exceedingly dangerous, then you’re not going. I’m telling you as your captain, not your partner.”
His voice rose, visibly agitated. "It's not about trust; it's about me not wanting to put you in a situation where your life could be at risk."
She stood up, her brows furrowed but she looked mostly tired. "You actually care about what happens to you! I care what happens to you! If I want to do something, then I obviously don't care about the consequences!"
Her voice caught in her throat as she realized the weight of her words, and her expression softened. "No.."
He sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. "Please just be okay with staying here if it's too dangerous. Please."
