"I think I can handle i-" [i]Before I can even finish my sentence, I heard the beeping and suddenly turned my head towards the plasma mine. Then, I felt Grant slam into me, pushing me into the earth as the mine exploded.[/i] [i]He had bothered to save me? Even if it was a mission, and even if the NCR wanted me to live..I still found this odd.[/i] [i]After Grant rose up, I groaned; the worst I got from the fall and explosion was some scratches, while he endured almost everything. I felt selfish at that point..I hoped I could help him back in the future. [/i] "...Damn." [i]I swore quietly as I rose up, brushing some dirt off of my clothing.[/i] "...Thanks, I guess."
