[ Andyr's expression screws up, something between a scowl and a sneer, because he knows what Nick's saying makes sense, and yet every last part of his is screaming to do something, before it's too late. Waiting had been what took Jehanne from them forever, and ultimately, what put his dad in the damn ground. They'd waited until they knew they had the means, while she suffered alone, and they warped her mind.
but there isn't any immediately threat to anyone right now, and nick's right in that, if he failed, he'd be taken away from alva, val and miray, and stranded somewhere. they'd be completely on their own, and with the ingress gone, he'd never see posie or mikal again.
jaw tight, his lips press together, and andyr looks ready to just punch a wall if he can't punch anyone else. instead, he pushes his palms over his face, and paces over to one of the walls of the hallway, a quiet, mostly incoherent murmuring coming from behind his hands, all that can likely be picked it is something about fish. For a long moment, Andyr's still and unresponsive, trying to reign himself in and push that pounding fear towards the back of his mind, something every inch of him is rebelling against, as it has for years.

A slow sigh leaves him, and he lolls his head to the side, to look at Nick. ] Yeah, you might get one that doesn't mention killing you in your sleep every other day. What a pain in the ass that would be.
