"I... I've hurt a lot of people. Not because I wanted to, but I have. I don't want to add any more that I don't have to to that total." [b][i]She said, a tinge of sadness in her voice as she looked downwards.[/i][/b]

[i]"Alright, that's a fair reason, as far as reasons go." [/i]
-
"Though that doesn't mean that I won't if I need to. I'm not going to let something horrible go unpunished."
-
[i]"Obviously. People need to do shit when they're being attacked, you know." [/i]
-
"Actually, that's one of the reasons I opened a training area. Help train normal people so they can protect themselves."
-
[i]"You have an arena?" [/i]
-
"No, not an arena. In a way almost like a dojo but it really. Somewhere I teach people who don't know how to fight how to protect themselves."
-
[i]"A Dojo at the Dojo?" [/i]
-
"More just for civilians. That way people like thieves are going to have a harder time praying on the innocent."
-
[i]"Aha, that's a good idea." [/i]
-
"Yeah. No one else should be taken advantage of because someone else decides they're more powerful then them."
-
[i]"Don't we have cops? [/i]
-
"Response time is only so fast. You could be stabbed and have bled out by then. Plus they can be bribed."
-
[i]"Gotcha." [/i]

"That's my reasoning." [b][i]She says. She looked around the tent, before speaking[/i][/b] "This is where you live?"
-
[i]"Yeah, I figured moving in would be smart." [/i]
-
"Tou chose to live in an area this small? With your own free will?"
-
[i]"Yeah, though most of my stuff is back at my old house. See, I used to live in an apartment not too far from here - The building is abandoned now, and I just kind of stay here because I have some friends." [/i]
-
"Oh. That makes sense..." [b][i]She said. To her, she wouldn't take much over the small home she had right now, though Nat's though process made sense[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Going off youe tone, I wouldn't say it does to you?" [/i]
-
"No, I can understand why you think that way. Just... most of my life, I would've seen this..." [b][i]She says, looking around and gesturing to the tent.[/i][/b] "this would have been great lodging to me."
-
[i]"Didn't you have anything like this back where you're from?" [/i]
-
"It existed where I'm from. Just, I wasn't lucky enough to have it. I- it's not a fun story..."
-
[i]"Don't have to tell me if you don't want to." [/i]
-
"I'd rather not." [b][i]She said.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Alright." [/i]
