[By the time Albert walks into Elle's room, Kiri has been here for some time, slumped in a chair at her bedside. The first thing out of his mouth is fired like the loose canon he is without her. Not much thought, but a whole lot of feeling.]
I can wake her. I can fix this.
[That crackle in his voice makes it sound a lot more like: I can protect her. This is my fault.Trust me. Just give me a chance.]
[He'd just come in to see if her condition had changed. Honestly, with so much to worry about, even if a sudden coma is high on the list he still takes a little solace in that it keeps Elle out of danger, and if things go poorly, will keep her from finding out what measures he may have to take.]
[If anything, that doubt lights an even greater fire under Kiri's ass.]
With my power. Flare doubles th'strength an' health of every person I touch. I stopped th'disease killin' Elle with it... Dead lifted five hundred ton barges with it. I can save her.

Powers aside, the subtext is obvious the way he looks to Albert; really, Kiri is asking for his blessing to go on that mission in one way or another.]
Elraine won't be coming with us, obviously. Will you be able to focus with her here and you not watching over her?
[They've been virtually inseparable since the moment Kiri arrived. Albert's not so certain how Kiri will function away from her, especially given Kiri's overactive and impatient tendencies.]
[That's all Kiri feels he needs to, and is able to say. The rest is all up to action. Hopefully Albert can feel that intention with all this honest, hopeful determination Kiri is latching onto.]
[The intention is noted, but Kiri is so brash and easily provoked that Albert's still not sure he wouldn't be more of a liability than an asset. But Hikaru and Shindou's words still ring in his ears and he has to wonder if he feels that way because he actually thinks it, or because he simply wants to keep him safe.]
Alright. But know that the second you disregard an order or go off on your own - if you put any of us in jeopardy including yourself - I will confine you to the boat until we depart. Forcibly, if need be.
[Albert's concerns are well placed -... not that Kiri would ever acknowledge that. As far as he is concerned, fucking up is not an option and never was in the first place.]
[A long moment passes Albert turning his attention away from Kiri to check on Elraine once more, his demeanor turning gentle as he attends to her. Fluffing her pillow lightly, pulling the blanket up just a bit. He has no idea what's effected her this way but the scanner app on the phone says her vitals are fine, as if just sleeping. It's disconcerting, but there's nothing they can do short of retrieving the doctor. Which is a part of this errand anyway, if Albert has any say.
He tosses another glance to Kiri, expression hardening into its normal businesslike mien again.]
Midnight. The entrance to Valhalla. Don't be late.
