I did later, sure. There was an old guy with a huge Oripathy rock on his head-- he taught me how to make explosives, so I made sure to get damn good at it.
Before that? I mostly figured shit out on my own. Started taking on jobs when I was old enough to be taken seriously as a mercenary. [...] I don't know if the body I took my old knife from had a name or not, so... I couldn't really pick theirs up with their weapon. They were definitely a merc, though.
Ah... Is that the tradition? To take on the name of those who had the weapon before you...
But—I'm glad you were able to learn all that, even if it must've been difficult. [ a beat ] I suppose what I'm trying saying is that I'm glad you're still here.

Your soul's here, though. And you survived as long as you did, even though I wish it was longer.
I suppose I'm ultimately saying that I'm glad you are the way you are, though I wish you suffered less.

[that gets a huff of a laugh from her, shaking her head.]
I don't think I've heard anyone say they're glad I'm the way I am!
no subject
I think they should. But at the very least, it's the opinion I hold.
