On the off chance she does somehow get taken though... what then? She can handle herself, and if she refuses to fight, then they could get back at the Malnosso- no- that's not the right mindset, that's selfish, he needs to think what is best for his crew.]

[He better, if he is seriously entertaining this idea for you]
