Yeah, I get it. [Ruki isn't his teammate, exactly, but he feels kind of responsible for her regardless.] But your team seems pretty tough. I'm sure they've got this handled.

Right. Good to know her kind is the same across universes. [With most of the others he'd be cautious about making them worry, but with Keith it's probably okay to discuss worst case scenarios. Anyone used to this lifestyle is probably already thinking it anyway.] ...You know, after seeing how much healing took out of her, I really hate the idea of having to depend on her magic to survive.
