[He feels that pang under his ribs again, when Gerry mentions the all-knowing powers. It's -- not a bad feeling, but there's something terrifying about someone who doesn't even know him throwing the weight of some supernatural evidence to his belief. It reminds him of the time he'd met Ozpin, the way he'd been caught up in the tidal wave of affirmation and kindness, the way he'd been driven to live up to the faith placed in him.]

I guess we'll see how it goes. Or you will. Heh.

[What was that about not deflecting ..... sounds fake tbh. He goes back to his pancake, ignoring the embarrassed heat at the back of his neck.]

Anyway...teaching you to defend yourself wouldn't be too hard. I'll drop you a line when I've got the energy for spars again.
