Let's try this again. Use your words, Egypt. That's what you do when you have something important to say. You speak when it counts.

After he thinks on what to say and what to avoid (the complete truth would probably rile Damian up even more), Egypt speaks, voice still soft, gaze fixed on his surrogate s— brother.

"You're important." Egypt means it; his words are earnest. "I want you safe." Capable or incapable of fighting crime, it doesn't matter. He doesn't want Damian in harm's way.
