He winced as she listed her injuries; he'd only had that broken wrist and back, but he couldn't imagine waiting for those injuries to heal on their own. Now, almost surprisingly, it seemed anything that broke also built up a resilience to breaking again, which he was thankful for, but not willing to test himself on that.

Men, fine, whatever, its like Goddamn Gladiators and that's all well and good but you shouldn't be in the arena; no woman should, regardless of ability or not. Its not fair to see something so beautiful be destroyed. Its like... like watching a rose get stepped on or something."

Or call someone your counterpart and make them do all the work." he offered her a small smile, "But uh, for obvious reasons they won't let me have weapons."
