If they don’t take you back, they’re ratfinks. [Rico says, bluntly.] I'll change their minds if it needs doing. Just say the word.

[He just frankly implied that he would physically threaten the Shambali monks into accepting Zenyatta back into the fold if he needed to with no iota of self-awareness. But after a second, he drops his arms and the attitude that he's been carrying around with him, looking a bit more like the young man he is.] That’s what I came to talk to you about, actually. I’m - going on a journey of self-discovery, [he says, vaguely.] I’m not going back to Mega-City One. For now, at any rate.

[There's a finality in his voice, though it's hardly heavy. More like excited. Some would call it desertion, abandoning his duty, punishable by twenty years in a Cursed Earth work camp. Judges don't just quit or take vacations, after all. But he’d call it something else. Zenyatta would probably be thrilled to hear “self-discovery" - which was why he’d said it - but... there’s a certain edge to his voice that belies his real motivations to running, even though he plasters over it with words he thinks he'd like to hear.]
