That's cause he probably isn't thinking thinking. Him and Gilia are both kind of heart first people. They do stupid crap, get hurt, figure it out. Best you can really do is try and make sure they don't get too hurt.
He always assures me he can handle it. Ianthe assured me he can handle it. But I know I’m going to hate myself if something happens to him and I didn’t do everything I could to prevent it.
What do you want to do, wrap him up in bubblewrap and hide all the sharp things? He's his own person, he's going to make his own mistakes. You just need to have his back.
I get it. I haven't been there, definitely planning on avoiding it, but I get it.
But if you stop him being Quentin, then he isn't the same already. That's kind of the thing about giving a crap about anyone. You're always taking on that risk.
Okay, yeah, I'm with Quentin on this one. Not going to stop you, but be careful around him. And definitely be careful around John Gaius. I mean, I'm guessing you've met him, seeing as they come as a package.
Yes. I have. He’s recently started giving me sword lessons.
[ There’s more hesitation. How much information should he give Murphy? Will he be upset if he finds out on his own somehow? It would be just his luck that things get out and cause some issue down the road. ]
I have … been intimate with sensei a couple of times. But it’s nothing serious.

But I'm glad it doesn't bother you. Seriously. You can just let it bother me, instead.

I don’t know what Quentin is thinking.

How much bubble wrap do you think we’d need just curious no reason]There are small mistakes and then there are things that could get him killed, Murphy.

[Ancient. What the hell. But people get up to all kinds of what the hell crap here, he isn't going to start chewing Junpei out of all people over it.
He takes a breath.]
Okay. I'm not going to tell you what to do. Just... be careful. And seriously, don't trust Gaius. Even if he's giving you a sword.

… but, thank you for worrying about me.
