[Just a shrug from Lavi, and Kanda thinks he's more 'Bookman' than 'Killjoy' in that moment... which means the hubris of this decision falls largely on him.
No more than he'd expected, and no less than he deserved if this flew sideways.
Still.
He listens to her self-debate, props his temple to fist as he waits it out. At least she's looking at it with both eyes open, rather than staying stuck in those useless fairy tales. At least she recognizes the weight of her action, the cost to those around her should she remain.
But even then.
Snorting, he arches a brow at her, his tone dry.]
...Sure, you can attempt a safehouse if you had the money, but you don't. We wouldn't even begin to have those kind of resources, woman. So if you don't want to be a burden, get stronger. If you don't want to be a liability, learn to fight. Beyond that... [shrugging, he shakes his head.] we can get you a bodyguard, and you can use them as a meatshield.
Either way, you know what's coming, now.
[Clearly, no one's ever accused Kanda of having a good bedside manner.]
