I'm not the one who slammed on the breaks.

[It's very lucky, and probably one of the only reason Heero hasn't gone on a lecture about compromising the mission.]

Acknowledged.
[But also he's not going to apologize... at least not yet.]
I'm here to act as a decoy. Nothing more.

[After all he's done... so much, just sitting here having a conversation. Though conversing isn't something he's prone to so maybe that's a lot by Heero standards on occasion.

Heero hasn't even considered removing his chip yet, but the second the lack of his usual strength affects a mission outcome it'll be out.]
