[Although Maya has very little to protect him with, just a baby psychic shield that might not even work. She stays in place as he scolds her for a second, fidgeting of the possibility about slowing him down or burdening him, about dying herself, since she doesn't know how well she can even pull this off -- but just as he's about to run off, she seems to become resolved, takes a deep breath, and steels herself]
[yep she's gonna follow him, DEAL WITH IT]
You can't help if you get BBQ'd! And unless you're the kind of doctor that has inexplicable magic powers, then-- then! You're in danger too! So I'm coming!
