Because he does freak when, during one of his flights through the city, he finds himself victim

You weren't bitten yet?

[nocrackers]

No way! I'm too fast for...that.

[honourboy]

Then please, be careful. Can you fight them?

[nocrackers]

Er... [He's not much of a fighter. Evasively,] I can avoid them!

[honourboy]

Do you need any assistance?

[nocrackers]

[Not wanting to be the one making a person go out of their way, Lin's quick to say,] No, no, that's okay.

[honourboy]

If you say so. [Kanetsugu nods.]

If you should encounter any trouble know that you can call on me.

[nocrackers]

[Lin blinks, and then he smiles.] T-thank you, um...? [An expectant pause for a name.]

[honourboy]

My name is Kanetsugu Naoe. May I ask for yours as well?

[nocrackers]

Lin! Just Lin. [A beat where Lin fumbles to pronounce his name--] Kane...soogoo?

[honourboy]

It's nice to meet you, Lin.
Almost correcty, Kanetsugu.

[nocrackers]

It's nice to meet you too, [the second try is better than the first--] Kanetsugu.

[honourboy]

[Kanetsugu laughs a bit.]

Yes, that is correct. I hope you'll be safe until the attack is over.

[nocrackers]

I hope you will be, too!

[honourboy]

Thank you.
