[ It's undignified but Holland allows it -- the alternative would get him killed, so he makes the rest of the journey without complaint. He's not surprised to hear that Fenris isn't normally this forthcoming with his aid -- very rarely do people who've struggled as they have offer their help. Still, it goes to show that Fenris is forthcoming with his reasoning. Holland would have deflected the truth, had he been in Fenris' shoes.
Perhaps Fenris really does know a thing or two about what it means to live, unlike Holland, who is barely figuring it out for himself. Ah, well. He's not dead, that's what matters. Sometimes that's all you need, and you think about the philosophical things later, in the comfort of your tiny apartment. ]
That's sensible enough. In the time it'll take you to take those apart, I should be well enough to walk on my own.
[ Just going to ignore the bit about compassion, even if he shares the sentiment. It's a little too soon for Holland to be talking about his feelings with anyone, honestly. ]
