In all honesty? I'm not. Not on the front lines, anyway. But there are people I care about involved in your little organization, and the last time things went to hell, they got hurt. I don't want that to happen again.
So I'm here to offer up my services as a wizard for wards, security, whatever you need.
[ Steve is quiet for a moment, offering Charlie an appraising look. ]
All right. I can understand that.
[ His attention turns to the trail again. ]
But I'm gonna tell you something about my "little organization" right now: I didn't expect it to fall into my lap, but now that it did I take the work we do very seriously. So I'm gonna let you know before we go any further on this that if you want me to let you in so you can keep an eye on your friends, your tone and your attitude aren't doing a lot to convince me.
The work we're doing is hard, Charlie. And it's dangerous, and it's thankless, and sometimes? We get hurt. But your friends aren't a part of this because it's easy; they're a part of it because they believe what we're doing is more important than the risk.
