But he sees Sera from the corner of his eye before he can form any of the words, glances at her more fully and finds a mix of impressed skepticism and growing confidence on her face, and he can't do it.

"You make sure he gets out," she counters, and that's as close as they come to arguing about who has to die, because she twirls the staff and throws a fireball without allowing him any additional time to bicker.
