[ His response almost edges on tired in contrast to Eren's aggravation, to his harsh words and body language. Eren has enough people to keep him grounded, he thinks. Mikasa, especially, is a cool headed balance to the young man's fighting spirit. She uses her head more than her heart (in many but not all instances, therein lies the difference between him and her). But he thinks of the worst case scenario. It's always better to be prepared for it and to have a contingency plan. Or plans. Or to have even considered the possibility of something.
In this case, it's what if Mikasa isn't there to dull Eren's sharper edges. What if she loses her rationale as well, as days and months pass? Ultimately, it may be that the both of them make it to their goal without giving up part of themselves. That's the good ending, in a way. November just wants to make sure they don't put themselves on the bad ending without realizing what they're doing. ]
