[Ben flinches. He has no defense - that was his plan exactly, insofar as he had any plan at all. It had seemed pretty straightforward. There must be a way to die, there must be a way to make it so the resurrection doesn't take effect; wardens must know it. The Admiral must have a breaking point. They all do.
They must have a way to make him disappear.
But the level of emotion from Rhade twists along with the hot coal he's already trying to juggle; he knows it's called guilt, this living thing, but all he knows to do is swallow it down again.
The X5 is silent and still for the moments it takes both of them to come back to themselves, unsure what to do, unsure if it can be fixed. Rhade will probably abandon him now and that wasn't his intention, but it's never been something he could stop.
However.]
It wasn't my intention to hurt you by putting you in that position. [He swallows again, manages to speak no more loudly;' still waiting for the stick, never even aware that there ever was a carrot.] I don't know what else to do. I'm... it wasn't my intention.
