[Ed lets out a noise halfway between a groan and a growl, and puts a hand to his forehead.] Never mind that! Think, Al! How can you be so sure you'll figure it out in time with basically no resources here and no way to know when we can get you home? If fixing all of this was as easy as just marching into the Hold with a toolbox, someone would've done it by now! What were you planning to do in the meantime, sit and wait?! You got dragged all the way out here to fight - what if it happens in the middle of one? Or starts happening faster? [It's a wild guess, but if the problem really is Al's connection to the armour wearing out, it doesn't seem farfetched...] What then?!

[He has to stop to take a breath or several eventually, but judging from the look on his face, it doesn't calm him down much.]
