[ She's absolutely right on that count -- Peter does not like that pause, nor does he like the sound of-- any of this, really. But he's also not stupid enough to just stop in his tracks so they can argue this out.
He is stupid enough to keep moving and arguing this out, though, because he's surprisingly good at multi-tasking. ]
Look-- we've been burned at least once. I just-- wanna make sure we're making the right decision, here, okay? That we're not bein' too hasty.
[ He may be saying "we," but he really means her. He doesn't want Kasumi risking herself on his behalf, is what he's trying to get at, though not in so many words. Peter may seem so self-involved sometimes that he wouldn't notice a spaceship until it hit him in the face, but he's also practical, knows the worth of things. And by his reckoning, Kasumi's life (and the lives of his team, for that matter) is far more valuable than his own. ]
