Proko makes a face at the idea of asking Baba for anything, but he knows Jiang is right. All he need do is whisper it, and like a weird, benevolent Baba Yaga, she would sweep out of the ether and deliver what he needed.

"But I wanted to talk to you about it too, 'cause... I mean. You're with me," he says with a helpless shrug. And maybe it's his body and his decision, but he still wants affirmation and support. And once he puts Jiang through it, he'll put Kav through it.
