I'm not one of your men. I'm a member of SEES, and nothing else.
But you've been with me since the beginning of this entire mess, and I'm going to get you back. I'm not going to get my "ass kicked." I'll be the one doing the kicking. I'm a fighter just as much as you are.
[It's a good thing this is just audio, because those first few phrases rocked the otherwise indomitable Iron Bull. He's good at reading between lines, he should be able to see what Ken really means here. To know what he's really saying, despite it all.]
[But...]
[I'm not one of your men.]
[It's like a physical blow. And he can't respond.]

She might be with someone with white hair.
no subject
Last I saw her, she was all right. Scared as shit, but all right.

[There's a short sigh.]
Thanks. I wanted to make sure -- we'll come get you, okay?
no subject
... Get it? Because I only have the one.
[The reply to Ken's reassurance is... conspicuously absent, though.]

You should mind a young lady's privacy, you know?

Thanks, Mr Bull. I'll get there as soon as I can.

But you'd better show up in one piece. Or else.
no subject
If I become a fraction I'll leave the other pieces behind so you only get one.
[SEES do not have senses of humor]
no subject
Can't have that.

That doesn't grow back.
no subject
[he says, firmly, like there isn't a choice called 'not losing his pieces']
no subject
No. You won't.
no subject
We're coming to get you. Even if it costs an arm or a leg, we're not leaving anyone behind again.
I'm not losing another piece of my world again, and I won't give up until I get it back. You're just gonna have to deal with that.
no subject
Shit happens. I'm the Iron fucking Bull. If any shit is going to happen, let it happen to me.
I'll come back.
Hawke did.
No one is getting their ass kicked for me. Especially not one of my men.

Fine. Roger that.
