That doesn't entirely make the uncertainty go away, but at least it helps him put it aside for now. "Going back would be stupid. For me. There's people there who'd love to put me back to work." He doesn't quite say he doesn't want to, but it's probably pretty clear that he doesn't want to. He also doesn't say he doesn't want her to go, because even if he was comfortable with stating things he wants, that's not his decision.

Her point stands, though. "But if other people want to. Yes. They probably won't like you messing with their portals, though."
