[The idea that the Sergeant would save anyone, even if to just to hold them hostage, seems both absurd and not-absurd simultaneously. Keith doesn't know what to do with the idea other than to laugh a little dryly -- too flat to be sardonic or anything other than humorless.]

They'd have been fine without me.

[He says the words ironically now more confidently than he'd been able to tell himself his first day or so here.]

It was -- [It was my fault we weren't coming together as a team.] -- the lions will save them. They always come through.

[Always. Except for right now. Keith breathes out, brow furrowing.]

So if the Sergeant's using them as leverage, all I'm doing is causing them trouble. [A beat.] ... Guess that's not unusual either.
