Along similarly pedantic lines, he'd note that nearly dying in the sequence of events that led to you acquiring something isn't at all the same thing as nearly dying in pursuit of something.Yeah - both men are digging in their heels on this one, and (as I just implied in the "Updating the current "now" to 2022" thread) it won't end well for Noah. But let's stop derailing Mal's thread...
