I'll protect myself, Killia. You don't need to burden yourself by thinking you have to protect me, if that's what you're thinking. Back home, I know how to use a sword. Here, I'm learning how to use a gun. [Two guns... thanks Wordsmith...]

I'm going to fight because I want to. Because I want to live. And to do that, I need more than a false bravado to protect me and I'm doing that by training and adapting. I'm not going to be a burden to you. I refuse to let that happen.
