[His mouth twists, his eyes flashing at the suggestion of pride. He thinks about how he got this injury, just earlier tonight. He'd sworn up and down so many times that if he insisted on healing a person, he'd warn them beforehand what effects it would have on his own body. But, once again, fearing that he'd be pushed away and not allowed to help, he acted impulsively. He let Varian believe it would be fine. That there were no catches.
And how upset he'd made Varian...his friend. Imagining the look on his face, the things he'd said, he feels just so ashamed. But what can he say, when Waver is doing all of this? He can't say how he's afraid of anyone raising their voices at him even one more time, out of concern or otherwise. Ion pushes through a knot in his throat.]
You're really so kind. I don't know how to thank you.
