[There's a lot he could say. He could ask if Zelos is sure...but from the reaction he saw earlier, that's a stupid question. He could tell Zelos it's a suicide mission...but they both know that already. He could ask why...but really, he knows why. He just didn't expect it from Zelos.
He's sent men to their deaths before, intentionally and unintentionally, more times than he cares to count. But always, they were his own soldiers, people with whom he shared a bond of loyalty. He doesn't have that bond with Zelos. Zelos is not his; neither of them owes the other anything, and it makes the offer different, somehow.
Finally, he just reaches into his pocket and pulls out a simple engraved bracelet, offering it to Zelos.]
...Thank you. [And he means it, regardless of the outcome.]
