...that too, but a lot of it was years and years of experience having to explain myself to people.
[But that's no longer relevant. He's patiently waiting for a response and even sits back to lean on his hands, staring at him quietly while he thinks it through. It doesn't surprise him that it's something that needs a lot of consideration. Most people haven't been fighting monsters their entire lives. It's only when Adam commits that he sits up, eyes suddenly bright and a little manic and he really should probably go the fuck to sleep but this is important.]
Don't you remember? I had to be the one to end it. [End his life, he means.] I'm not really that easy to take out. Stick with me, kid. You'll be okay. That scythe you stole from the garden might not be a bad tool to keep training you with. I know I said knife fighters are the most clever fighters and you can nail a lot of good hits, but the nice thing about weapons like spears and scythes is you have the reach taken care of. Keep a knife on you by day, keep the scythe out at night. As far as I know I'm the only one who can break into people's rooms without the key card. As long as you stay off of the vulnerable list, at least the people here can't get to you. [So...hopefully that'll be enough to dissuade random bodysnatchers for a bit.]
