[He can tell how impatient Keith is getting, and if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, he'd let an enemy or two get by just for the red paladin to be able to fight. But this isn't just some routine battle against Galra sentries. They're fighting enemies they've never fought before, with weapons that aren't molded to them like their bayards are. And hell if he's going to let Keith's urge to fight get in the way of his safety.
Still, there are a lot of Vieziri, and his rifle doesn't fire as fast as he wish it did. A few do get through, and while he's confident in Keith's fighting skills, he wants to keep those numbers as low as possible.]
