Scott really, really, actually hated the idea but he hadn't started talking about this from a place of ignorance. He knew damned well what he was saying to her, and what it involved. He hated the idea with every fiber of his being. He didn't share like that with people - not voluntarily - and especially not after Jean had died.

Even the mention of grief made that well up again, which said nothing good, but.

"I wouldn't have brought it up if I wasn't willing." That was more neutral than outright saying he hated the idea. "You aren't a child anymore. I couldn't tell you what to do when you were. " He took another swallow from his cup and tilted his head to the side. "All I'm saying is I'm not leaving you without a team and little to no decent offense. I don't give a damn how we make that happen at this point."
