Why do you think I'm rejecting it? I have to learn to fight as a human fights or I'm more vulnerable than you.
I know why people fight, I know why I fight. I don't think you're heartless. I'm trying to work this out. You think I'm doing this to indulge myself and leave you to it?
I am trying to help, to find my focus again, and this is the suggestion I was given. Booth is a detective and he hunts. It's... possible.
