I'm pretty sure I swung the sword once and fell over. [ Wryly. As wryly as that deserves. ]

That's between you and me, okay? ... but what I'm trying to say is, well, [ to bring it back to being a little more serious, ] --it's alright if you're not the same as everyone else. You do what you can do, what you have to to survive. And you're already pretty good - you've got bigger guts than anyone I've seen! You don't hold back!

Why not just...let us help you out too?
