'Mom,' huh? He's heard about Steven from a few others but he didn't know it was that bad. It's just something he files away for later without acknowledging it outloud. Chances are someone else might or at least consider it. He gives no reason to doubt his own words. If anyone wanted to run off he'd let them without a moment of hesitation. Everyone had a choice and choice was something he strongly believed in. If a kid wanted to go rescue someone, so be it. He wasn't going to stop them.

He glances over at Joker when he speaks and nods along with his words. It was better to get the ones that couldn't fight out of harms way or at least the ones that couldn't take an intensity fight of large number. Joker was also one he would consider getting on Lion but he had a feeling that opinion wouldn't matter.

"If anything works, I doubt we'll get more than another shot or two. Don't try to be a hero and just go if you feel you should." Then again, there is a shot it wasn't going to work anyways. He's not confident even his own power would work in navigating this maze of thorns. He would like to not have a repeat of the manor in going through a wall and either getting stuck in it or in some sort of trap.
