[Okay, Oscar has to laugh at that simply because he knows it's the truth. This entire group sure is... something, all right, and while he's not entirely sure what to make of them, he also can't say that he hasn't come to care for them all in his own way. If he can make sure that none of them get hurt by being the one to get hurt instead, then that's what he's going to do.]
Yeah, there's a reason Bas and I have been tryin' to be the ones takin' the majority of the hits here. You can't tell me "fall over like a bundle of sticks" wouldn't apply to a bunch of this little squad...
[Some of them look like they'd keel over if they took two good hits, not that he's going to say this out loud. He knows he doesn't really need to.
He's gearing up to say something else when Wolfwood places his hand on Oscar's shoulder and he feels the warmth of that healing pulse through him, the pain ebbing away slightly like a tide.
He could protest. He should protest. But in the face of this whole conversation, somehow he finds he can't bring himself to do it.
Sister would be proud of him, honestly.]
Now you're just startin' to sound like someone I know.
