[ Frustration meets her words. Seth drains his glass before he bothers to answer. ]
If this bunch can't keep their eye on the prize, then it's not going to matter.
[ Which means pushing through grief, but then again, Seth hasn't ever had the healthiest response to grief. ]
And if we do our jobs, no one has to find out what it feels like to lose another member of the party, right?
[ In a lot of ways, this is like trying to reconcile different methods at the start of any job except they aren't trying to hit a bank, they're trying to root out a bunch of hidden enemies and prevent them from getting a hold of something precious and probably destructive. It's complicated. Seth can acknowledge that, even while ignoring that messily trying to disassociate from grief is far from a winning strategy. ]
