[He falls quiet again- she reminds him of Rapunzel so often- especially in times like this. Where she pushes and pushes and pushes herself to take care of everyone else, not realising she's destroying herself in the process. It's not a pleasant thing to witness in someone you care about, and he hates having to see it twice.]

Ruby. Who made it your job to do any of that? And don't tell me it's a Huntress thing because there's a lot of you here now and I don't see the rest of them tearing themselves apart trying to save literally everyone. You can't do it. You're just hurting yourself trying. You're not- you're not infallible and no one is expecting you to be.

[He worried that one day she is going to snap under the weight of all of the everything she puts herself under and then there will be no saving her at all. He lets out a slow, unsteady breath - putting aside all the hurt he's feeling to help her.]

You didn't mess anything up. It's- well, it's not okay. You still died and I had to find out in the worst way possible. But it's not- it doesn't change anything, okay? I still love you, nothing can change that. I'm just- I'm worried about you.
