[ he's perfectly aware of the danger - he spends most of his life getting away from it, albeit under vastly different circumstances and from vastly different enemies. The fact of the matter is that he's willing to take on a risk to make sure his friend is all right. They work alone, and they aren't human; maybe they don't understand how difficult it would be for him to turn his back on them to save his own skin.

Lupin was expecting them to be angry, though, so he takes the glare in stride, returning an even amber gaze. ]

Sorry, but I wasn't going to leave a friend behind to fend for themself without a backup plan in mind. If something happened to you, I'd never forgive myself. [ on that, he won't budge, it seems. he won't ask if they're okay, either, because he knows he'd probably just get a sarcastic response. ] You're really something, though. Taking down a monster like that on your own...

[ he may be looking at them in a new (appreciative) light now, even if he also can't believe they take down monsters like this nearly every day for hundreds of years by themself... he supposes they'd have to be this strong to pull it off. He steps aside to let them keep moving onwards towards the exit, intending to walk beside them. ]
