Copies may increase the chance of them being found, but you also don't want to risk losing it all if your only copies are discovered.
[There are risks and benefits to both strategies. But she still thinks copies are the better of the options.]
I understand... our original plan with Jim was one ultimately only based in revenge and destruction. Biding our time, learning as much as we can, it's better. [Nebula sets the papers back, closing the box for now. She'll no doubt look through them all more later.] I am not always good with having patience.
[There's too much rage in her sometimes to allow herself to wait. It's been a flaw of hers for a long time.]
I appreciate you bringing me here, telling me, and showing me this. [Having that kind of trust in her felt good. Sure, they'd worked together before, but time had passed. It meant something to her.] Being here again, I felt somewhat untethered.
[This gave her a goal. A meaning. Something other than rage. Although that is fueling her too.]
[It's quiet and quick, a nod as if he'd perhaps not ever considered keeping it from her, or not wishing her involvement. Rebels themselves aren't so rare, but those willing to actually do something and not resort to simply talking about it every so often amidst their swath of parties as if it an afterthought, those people are hard to come by. Those who will risk everything. D'Artagnan had almost fallen into the beginnings of that trap, but he'd escaped the cage of acceptance and he'll not look back.]

[He might certainly commiserate on that. D'Artagnan takes the box, but he doesn't place it back in the floorboards.]
I'll make a copy or two, for now, keep one in another location for myself. Leave the other with someone trustworthy who'll otherwise not be involved.
[When he finds such a person.]
