He presses his lips together in a tight line. "Yes, because it was dangerous, and because I had doubts." There's no point in saying otherwise. It would be untrue and they both know it. He made a calculated risk on his own behalf.

That explains an aspect to this that he did not consider in the least. What if he had been thrown into another vision? It might have just been weeks with his body out there, for everyone to wait to see if he came out, but his mind could have experienced many lifetimes. What would he become if he was eight hundred years alone, and came out of that? Blue eyes flicker to the side as he thinks this through. It's clear he did not think about it. He didn't see that angle.
