[ Even if he can't relate very well with their specific relationship, he can surely understand the need to keep certain things a secret to protect someone you care for. ]
nothin wrong with preparing her about some stuff too tho i think shell be more worried if she suddenly saw you in danger or somethin we never know whats gonna happen next here
[ Yeah, he knows. He knows how much Jon cares for people, how much he's willing to help them out, how strong he can be physically and mentally. ]
i know shes important but u r too so dont do anythin rash ya hear
[ It's both relieving and... frustrating to know that someone else's got Jon's back. Relieving, because Mondo is aware that he doesn't always have the power to protect those he cares for here, especially with Jon being the stronger one. But that's also why it's frustrating. He's not frustrated at Jon, nor at the others. He's frustrated in himself, in his powerlessness.
Catching himself nearly apologising in the text, he deletes that portion and quickly hits send. What matters now is how he can be of any help despite that. It's his homework to figure that out. ]
( mondo is a great person. jon is--absolutely certain of that, and this conversation really just seats that believe in harder. he's trying to help, trying to protect jon, his family. )
[ When Mondo reads Jon's text, his grasp on the device tightens. If this was a couple of months ago, he'd probably say that he wouldn't let anything happen to Jon. But the reality has showed him otherwise ー he, out of all people, won't be able to guarantee that. ]

[ Even so, he'll do everything and anything for Jon and his family. ]
