[He doesn't want to. He wants to ask if Alcuin is sure. He wants to convince him not to. But he knows Alcuin knows the risks, and he knows Alcuin won't back down anyway. The last thing he wants is to put his friend into more danger from Eldritch Gods and corruption - but he can't deny him the chance to protect the people he cares about, either.
And it would be better to have someone else who knew how to fight them, someone who won't give up - Armin might not always be there, or be sane enough to help.]
