"I would want you to rethink it. I would want you to change things entirely if I was that careless." But hadn't he been that way that they got injured like this? He can't help but wonder what he could have done to change things.
Logically he knows there's nothing he could have done, but that also doesn't change that feeling of responsibility that he's feeling.
That feeling that leads to his arms tightening around him, holding her closer because he could have just as easily lost her as anyone else. They hadn't lost anyone but that doesn't change how he feels.
A brow arches at that, canting his head to look at her more closely. "Even now you can feel it? Okay." He nods at that, nuzzling her cheek tenderly. "She'll be okay."
They all will, and then he'll go from there. He'll find the answer and who they have to go after who was behind this. Until then though, it's just making sure that everyone is okay and that they're taken care of.
He shifts to focus on Ben, giving him a nod. "We have this. She's going to be okay. We'll make sure that she'll be okay." No matter what it takes.
