Um... I want to ask anybody who knows how to fight...

How do you pick a weapon? I mean... how do you know what suits you best? Do you try them until you figure it out, or do you let someone pick for you? And what if you-

...nevermind...

Train in different styles with different weapons. Use the most comfortable one. [He would know.]

...I guess there's no fast way to get strong, huh.

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

'Course not. If you want something, you have to work for it.

voice;

[dawndigger]

Yeah...

I just want to get strong enough to protect people, so waiting is... [Kind of dangerous.]

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

Yeah, it is. [A long pause] You trust them, right?

voice;

[dawndigger]

Of course! More than anyone...

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

Then don't you trust them to... You know... [Urgh, is he really giving an inspirational speech to some stranger?]

voice;

[dawndigger]

...What, protect themselves? [With Kamina around? With his "never retreat" policy? Ha. Hahaha. Ha. No.] It's... not really that kind of trust...

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

No? You don't think they can take care of themselves until you're prepared?

voice;

[dawndigger]

I'm worried that they'll get themselves into a fight they can't handle... or wait for me to back them up when I can't do it.

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

... So you're not even gonna try. [His voice is dripping with contempt. Yeah, he could understand worry or fear, but letting that stop you? Just giving up like that? Jale can't stand that.]

voice;

[dawndigger]

Ah- no, no! [Wow, he sounds mad.] If I don't try at all, I definitely won't be any help to them. I'm just worried, that's all...

[shrikestrikes]

Because standing around "worried" really gets things done.

voice; I hate when that happens

[dawndigger]

I'm not just standing around... I'm trying to get advice.

voice;

[shrikestrikes]

It'll still comes down to you and your choices. What are you going to do?

voice;

[dawndigger]

I... I'm going to learn how to fight. Any way I can, I will.
