He appraises her as they round the corner to the path toward home, the Sanctuary creeping up on them quite swiftly now. “No, nobody likes that thought at all.” And he certainly didn’t when it came down to it. Not just because she was his girlfriend as well as his leader. Because she only wanted to help and heal people. She is good, and Varus could say it until he’s grey in the face (haha) but he thinks that if he does it might lose its meaning.
For now, though, the thought of war spurs him back and he’s uncharacteristically silent while he thinks. “Depends on how this war goes. A striker if we need one. A defender if they start it.” He answers honestly, his oceanic gaze slipping back to her. “I do plan on always being around to defend you though.” Because war was war and to Varus? Isla was the most important one out of everyone else.
