...I know that you won't. You're more than enough to handle me, if something goes wrong and I turn out to be a problem for us instead of them.
[he wouldn't be learning from kanda if he weren't stronger, more skilled, more decisive. and he understands; he would prefer if someone acted, honestly, instead of letting him hurt their own.
he'd prefer if that were knocking his ass out over killing him, he wants to live, but.]
If we are forced to deal with Scien, then if it can be helped, please don't kill him... but if you do, I'll trust that you decided it was necessary.
[he'll trust that it was a judgment call on his part.]
[He nods, satisfied with that response. It wouldn't stop him even if Mathis had felt hurt or betrayed, but he appreciates that Mathis understands what he's trying to convey.
...Will he say that? No of course not. BUT IT IS THERE.]
We'll see what we're up against tomorrow, and go from there.
[I don't want you to die either. So, yes--the greater good takes precedence, but he fortunately has no strong desire to immediately murder Scien.]
[He's not fully convinced Mathis can truly envision the sorts of enemies Kanda might find himself facing, but... technically, Kanda is guessing too, so.]
...Do what you want, then.
[He's made himself clear enough, he thinks. And besides, he has no idea how much training Mathis has done in the time since his death. All he can do is trust that Mathis knows his limits.]

[that thought gets a flicker of something warm, mixed with some concern in turn.]
I'd like to see you safe after it all, as well, so... so you'll have as much of my support as I can give.

[and he will be concerned by nature, until he sees that kanda will be fine for himself. what if it doesn't entirely work!!]

You don't want to stick with the sword spirit guy?
["What about Lucas" no Kanda doesn't think anyone should be near Lucas when he fights actually]
no subject
A-as I said, I do... I do want to support you.
[he's trained with him, he's fond of him-- of course he'd fight with him.]

[zero of you guys are going to tell him about lucas and i love that for him, he's truly walking out of this without mathis ever knowing a THING.]
If it seems like too much, then... I'll get myself out of it.
[so that he isn't a hindrance, or a burden to him.]
