(Got it. I'll get him up there in one piece and keep an eye on him.)

['Got it' in more ways than one, honestly. He understands being rattled by this place and its "events".]

[They're a little too close to a nerve.]

(Want me to let you know when we get up there?)

[deployed]

( Yes. And when you get back, if you could. )

[shiro2hero]

(I can. I will.)

(He'll get there safely. Promise you.)

[deployed]

( Thank you. )

[shiro2hero]

(Any time.)
