Omi had assumed that much, and knew it to be permission to at least ask. He nodded to his knees and paused for a moment to decide how best to phrase himself.

"...There's a lot that you know right now. You know about me. The history I have and the circumstances of... everything, past and present. You know the loyalty and bonds that come from working as part of a team. And you probably know what the options are better than I do... If you were me right now, knowing all that you do... what would you do? Really think about it, please."

Omi did not want the knee-jerk answer that could so easily come from resting comfortably in the position of world-beloved hero. An answer that did not truly consider the position he faced would not be helpful. But he wanted-- needed advice. And of everyone available... Robin was probably in the best position to offer it. Omi couldn't promise that he would do whatever it was that Robin suggested, but neither could he ignore the real value of his perspective, and the subsequent weight it would receive as he evaluated for himself.
