"Varian, what happened to you?" Sarah asked after noticing his weakened condition.
"…I'll take care of it," Varian shook his head, "No matter what happens on my side, focus on your battles. Win if possible, else maintain a stalemate."
Sarah still looked at him with worry. The last time Varian said these words were still fresh in her memory. He died then. And to bring him back from the dead, they too nearly died. It was both luck and struggle that they're here today.
So, Sarah was naturally afraid of Varian doing something risky once again and… dying. If something happened now, she had no confidence in bringing him back.
Noticing her trembling body, Varian wrapped his arms around her shoulder and looked into her eyes. "I'm not going to lie. It's hard to win, but I can do it. Please trust me."
