[He frowns a little, listening to Ben explain his view of the situation. He isn't wrong, really. She is trained to respond. To act when she can, in the best interest of an innocent person. She would have done it, if she'd been there and found Klaus, whether he'd said anything at all. Doesn't dissolve the guilt he feels for it, though, because there is that factor in the mix still, too. She might have waited if he just hadn't...
He lets out a slow, shaky breath.] Yeah... I guess. Maybe.
[He frowns a little at the question, and notices that shift in Ben and his demeanor. He wonders how much awful Ben has witnessed, just for the sake of being stuck to Klaus for the last nearly two decades, and the kind of circles he ran in, people he was around, god-knows-what kind of trouble he really got into.
But this isn't about all those things, it's smaller, specific and Diego hesitates before he answers.]
What did they do to him? ...How close were we, really, to losing another brother?
