I agree. Risk is inherent in everything we do. The sticking point appeared to be my unwillingness to give my word I would advise him beforehand for any future action. He left quite upset.
[ We've forgotten the neutrality and gone straight for 'he' now. ]
I even accepted that perhaps I had not considered possible damage to me would impact my ability to assist and protect, but that appeared to cause more upset.
This isn't the army. We've got no command structure here, or people to report to. You're free to do what you want. [Sometimes he wished this was an army. A proper one, that didn't do slavery.
Still.] Only thing I agree with him on so far is that it's good practice to give somebody a signal when you're going to do something risky. Particularly somebody who's going to be staying in contact with the rest of the group. It doesn't have to be your guy, though. [He's got a suspicion who they're talking about now.]
... Apart from the fact that he did admit there is one person who is here from his world and that if he needed to he would absolutely drop everything in Taravast to go to their side and get them out before anyone else okay yes. That might be a valid reason to have suspicions. ]
I agree. Which is why it confused me that admitting I should have considered the wider impact appeared to upset him more. It appears there is a personal aspect to the mentality.
Danger can make people act strange, even if it doesn't affect them directly. Sounds like he had some leftover energy to burn about it. [They'd gotten a whole unit in their training on battlefield psychology, so he's not entirely talking out of his ass about that. Someone else's ass, maybe--he's not sure he trusts any of those lessons anymore.]

He has always had heightened emotions.
[ He feels a lot of feelings very intensely, and expresses them openly -- unlike Wrathion who thinks showing vulnerability is outright dangerous. ]

Undecided. It feels like it could backfire. Shelve that thought for now. ]
That is no doubt more important. Thank you for your input, regardless. It has been useful.
