[ they have this fight like, every time? every lockdown? so even as the Most Stubborn Human Alive, he knows there's no winning. or rather, there's no time for it. ]
Flayn... Fine. [ fine!!!! ] But you and I both know we may not be able to protect each other, should the worst come to pass.
[ so he's going to unhitch the dagger he's got stashed against his back, showing it to her. it's the lightest weapon they have on them, from the looks of it, and the easiest to pick up and use. the blade's keen. she should know that. ] Use this to defend yourself, Lili, and Taako if the rest of us are incapacitated. I'll hold it for now, but know that I won't be far from your side.
[ Whether he's killed or simply falls asleep at the stroke of midnight, they need to accept the possibilities. They've been through this enough to know.
Still, he doesn't argue with her. ]
That's all I ask, should things go south. That said, I do not intend to leave you to fight alone. [ He'll fight to stay awake to the bitter end, as though it makes any difference at all. ] We will make it through the night. All of us.

[She says it firmly, because she desperately needs to believe it. If Dimitri is killed out here, tonight, because he followed her out...
No. No, she won't think it.]
...but I will use that to defend us if I must. I shall stay near you.
