He glowers at her. He hates it. The idea of an automatic kill switch feels about a million times worse to him than looking at red red red on a blood test and knowing what you have to do. Doing it had almost killed him, but it still seems preferable to this, and he's not sure how to explain why.
In any case, there's nothing he can do about it. It's her decision, her body, and her conscience. He can't determine risk for her any more than she can for him.
"If this is the thing I'm only probably going to hate, the thing I'm definitely going to hate must be a real doozy."
Meanwhile, the other part of this, the part Maggie isn't saying, the
part that Raylan would probably hate too... is that talking to Raylan
helped solidify her decision on the kill switch. He hated the idea of Iris
turning her in part because he was terrified that one day something would
go wrong, and she'd become a threat and he'd have to shoot her. She can't
promise she'll never be a threat, the Barge being what it is. But she can
do this. She can lessen the chances.
Maggie doesn't want any of her people having to live with taking her down.
Not after the worried look on Raylan's face. Not after witnessing the
trauma Shaun carries.
She grimaces. "It is. You, in particular, are going to hate this one. But
please keep in mind that I'm no longer a zombie threat. I would probably
have chosen that safety measure either way, but I would never do the
next thing if I were an amplification risk."
"That isn't the only thing Iris and I did. ...You know she's a werewolf,
right?" This is going exactly where it sounds like, and Maggie braces for
the explosion.
It doesn't come right away. It takes the words a few moments to sink in, but when it does, there isn't the disbelief that had accompanied her first announcement. "Fucking what." he asks finally. It's not really a question as much as it is a placeholder for the outburst he's barely holding in check.
