You haven't done a very good job at making yourself believable. You said you would fight when you will need to, that's the opposite of almost getting yourself killed by someone you could easily overpower.

Of all the experienced fighters and killers you could have had as an opponent, you imposed yourself onto that kind of person.

If you keep this up, you will also be a liability to your allies, and there are some who clearly care about you.

[Even if he's unable to care about himself.]

Can you understand that much?
