"That's comforting," she admitted. She didn't like the idea of Tatsuha getting mugged... or worse... at some point on his way home from work. It was a terrible thought, so with his words, she pushed it out of her mind. "That's true. You're not helpless, but as long as you've got a way to defend yourself."
She opened her eyes and glanced over at him. "That's probably a good idea," she said. "You'll get there, don't worry. If you ever get tired of here and you've got a night off of work, you can always come stay with me. I could use the company most of the time anyway. I'll cook you dinner too."
