Blake and Avon in “Unfinished Business”

I'm going down on my own, Avon. It has nothing to do with you.

Nothing at all! But it occurs to me that if you should run into trouble, one of your followers--one of your three remaining followers--might have to risk his neck to rescue you.

Then you must advise them against that, Avon.

Oh, I will.

They might even listen to you this time.

Why not? After all, I don't get them killed.

[Quietly, to Avon] True.
