[Waver gave a long and quiet sigh, trying to collect himself with little success.]

I can't stand seeing you hurt, more so if it's because of something like that. Of course I know you wanted to protect me--and I'm grateful for at least that much. But I won't just let you keep pulling stupid stunts like that for me. I love you, you fucking idiot. If you really think I'm going to let you act like a shield for me, you're insane.

[Beat, followed by a deadpan:]

I...said that bit out loud, didn't I.
