Would you have preferred that one over... this?

[ Oh, literally right now? He seems kind of amused. He started carrying bandages for a handwrap on his person for the week since a certain SOMEONE likes to accost him at random (it's Akihiko) (in an endearing way) so at least he's ready.

Urgh ahhh I'm not a coach in real life. But he can teach Eupha a few things, like where's a good place to punch to stun them, leave them breathless with a knee to the solar plexis, bring the weight of a punch from your spine and not just in your first, use the sharpness of your elbow to your advantage... that kind of stuff.

I had someone to take care of.

[ He always gets asked this question... ]

She's a good girl. Well, woman.

[ JUST... GETS KIND OF FLUSTERED AT THIS... ]

...I tried to be. I was raising her, basically...
