[ interesting!!! he makes a mental note of that, nodding, and listens to the rest of karlach's story intently. there's something about that (shocking) resonates with rondo, even, and she'll see it flicker on his face, a mix of determination and warmth. ]
...I understand what you mean. [ not letting people get harmed, protecting your home... it's the way he feels about orsterra, too. ] I hope that things will be alright in your absence... do you believe your comrades who aren't here with you will be able to handle things well?
Oh - yeah, they're my boys. [she says, confidently, because in her mind they are. those are her baby eight strength chickadees.
as for the rest of it:]
Really, I think we couldn't have left the place in better hands. Wyll can wrangle them into doing the right thing. [a beat.] I'm more worried about them getting into a scrap with me. I'm the attention grabber, yeah? So my friends can pick off the baddies while I'm front and center.
That makes sense...! [ rondo nods along... karlach the girlies who get it get it... ] You have to protect someone like Mr. Gale. [ assigns him squishy wizard ] Well, hopefully your friend who can wrangle your other friends can keep them out of too many scraps, until you can get back!
Hopefully it won't be long, either. [ (narrator voice) it was long ]
Absolutely have got to protect someone like Gale. You could knock him over with a sneeze.
[she rubs at her neck.]
Yeah... yeah. Hopefully it won't be long. [... she trails off there, glancing away. a beat.] Here's to getting the sense of whatever the fuck is going to happen next, yeah?
Oh! Okay! I'd love to. I'll get yours after, then! [ there's a pause, and he sighs, touching his tummy. ] Ohh man... what I wouldn't give for a good tavern meal right now...

[ he says, with a big smile - hopeful. very hopeful! ]
Ah, it feels like that's the kind of thing that should be said at a tavern with a big mug of ale...

If we do, I owe you a drink.
