No. My ears aren't just for that. Sometimes they hold up a hat.

[It's his way of trying to stay brave at a time when he really wants to just go.]

I would like that. If you could do that. I would repay you of course. I'd owe you a really big favor for it.

[Halsin doesn't mind making that deal. Others might not make bargains with anyone in the Black, but the nurse trusts, even when he shouldn't. If he says he owes a favor, he does and he will pay it back no matter what]
